Itinerary description

Left Isinlivi from our hostel following the trail behind it down the road, we backtracked to follow another trail on Wililoc to find out the road meets up.
Its easy going down hill into the valley .Theres a short up hill climb to the road again then follow to a lookout. We stopped for a snack.There is signage most of the way but I think having a map is a must.
Downhill from here to the river its a steep incline and a little dusty and slippery.We stopped to let the boys swim in the river after crossing the bridge & lunch.From here turn right and follow the road till a small town, at the small thatched shop, turn right and head up the steepest climb of the day, steep and a little slippery.
After catching our breath at the Mirador follow the track to the main road and to your hostel we are staying at the Cloud forest hostel.Great hot showers, good food and cold beer.
Stay tuned for day 3
