Day 9 - Salazie

One of the highlights of the holiday was going to Salazie.
Salazie is a "Cirque": a depression in the mountain caused by empty magma chambers collapsing. This has created a dramatic landscape with great scope for waterfalls and great views.
We couldn't have asked for a better day to see Salazie. Blue skies and sunshine all day.
We spent the day driving to various waterfalls and view points around the cirque and had a picnic with a breathtaking view.
On the way back, we were treated to an other beautiful sunset. The few clouds that did roll in were almost flowing off the mountain like a waterfall.
I think I'll let the pictures speak for themselves...
