SEP 24, 2015 – On Thursday morning, we left the guesthouse early to hike up to the top of Kaieteur Falls before midday. Even so, the weather was very hot and tropical. Shortly after departure, we encountered a highly venomous Labario snake –  it didn’t attack anybody, but I think we would all have preferred to see it behind glass rather than on the trail in front of us. At the top, we enjoyed a first view of the gorgeous waterfall. We had lunch at Kaieteur guesthouse and spent the afternoon in the area. Some of us were lucky enough to see the “Cock of the Rock”, a beautiful orange bird.
