As my landlord, told me that the new ferry was stop by the police, I had to wait for the old ferry that only local take to cross the river.
I start the 2 engines of the ferry with the driver and then I had the ferry only for me as no other travelers took it at this time.
To go the old ferry, it was about 10 km more and I was not very clever on this, I took my big back pack (25 kg) for the hike.
In addition, I did not know where was the beginning of the way to hike and I went twice to the bottom of the valley near the river to climb again afterwards to the road with each time at 300 m at least to go down and of course same to go up.
After that I was completely dry and alone, I went back to the road to walk less hard for few more km.
At one point I stop a small truck, I went inside to do a part of the road.
As there was a lot of rain part of the road was under the mud of a sliding ground
We had to go down from the car to pick up another after the sliding ground
The gorge as forecasted were terrific, one of the few place where you can be in front of the force of the nature!!!
