Les Gorges de la Falaise
Inspired by a post from a couple of our friends (thanks Courtney and Dustin), Rebecca and I rented a car yesterday to do a bit of adventuring. Our first stop, mid-morning, was not too far from the base of Mount Pelée, the mountain that you may recall we climbed a few weeks ago. Instead of climbing up into the clouds though, our destination was in the opposite direction, down into a canyon filled with fast-moving water.
Les Gorges de la Falaise is, no doubt, a popular tourist spot during the height of the season. Yesterday though, Rebecca and I only had to share the experience with one other guy. Much better, in my opinion.
After a relatively short, but steep descent (steep enough that we climbed down much of the stairs sideways), we met up with a guide who led us through the canyon to the waterfall. The entire experience took about an hour, and was, in our opinion, well worth the 7 euros that we each paid to take part. I’ll let the pics and video clips provide the rest of the description.
Mike, what happened to the RSS feed from “Zero to Cruising?” I have followed the blog religiously since before you left Canada using my RSS reader. The last time any thing was published was May 12.
Thanks,
Tim
To tell the truth I removed the feature. I wasn’t sure that anyone actually used it. I can put it back though.
Question: Does the RSS feed show you the pics or only the text? When I checked it I only got the text, no doubt because I have hot-linking of the blog’s images turned off.
The RSS feed contained only the text. That wasn’t a problem for me because I could easily click through to the web page. In the case of your blog, the RSS feed notified me that you had posted.
I subscribe to about 100 feeds on a variety of topics. At any moment I can quickly see the ones that have recent activity and decide which ones to read. Of course, I always read yours.
If it’s not too hard or prohibitively expensive, please put the feed back.
FYI, I use Feedly as my RSS reader and I love it.
Thanks,
Tim
Let me know if it works again on the next post.
I’m not seeing it…
Tim
🙁
Perhaps you may need to resubscribe.
I use the RSS feed, the pics stopped showing up a few months ago or more
Months or years? It was approx. this time last year that I turned off image hot-linking.
I just reactivated it (I think). Let me know if you get the feed the next time that I post. The photos definitely won’t show up though.
I have never lost the RSS, it shows up along with all my others thru My Yahoo.
hmmm
