12 August 2013: in Boca del Asno, Madrid/Segovia ridge. Freezing water!

...I saw Millaa Millaa Falls, made famous by a Peter Andre music video and some shampoo ads, apparently. This is an amazing sight so I thought it would be even better to shower under this one. Unfortunately, it was extremely cold and overwhelming. After a lot of difficulty I managed to swim pretty much to the waterfall, and was under just a little bit of its flow, but then I panicked. I suddenly had a bit of trouble breathing, due to the cold and the current and knowing it was slippery on the other side so I didn’t feel like there was anywhere I’d be able to stop easily. So I swam back, without really having completed a good bathe.

Nevertheless, I’m marking this complete – I think I’ve done as much as I want to. (less) (less)

Got to swim under a little waterfall, Dinner Falls, in the Daintree Rainforest in Queensland during my trip there. I thought that was entirely enough to cross this goal off until…

Cascades de Montezuma, Costa Rica

I showered under a manmade waterfall at the hot spring spa resort in Taupo - but this isn't quite the same thing.
