~Chapter 20~
~Frances POV~
Georges is waiting for me on the other side... of the building. "Ready to go?" he asks, dark hair pulled in a tight updo. "As if!" I snort, but follow his lead anyways. We head down to the river nearby and drop our blanket and basket off at a large flat rock and then head over to the shore. The cool, blue water rushes by my feet as I step onto the old log that helps form a makeshift bridge across the river. About halfway through the river. the log got broken down and floated away so we carefully step across the big stones that make a decent ish path to the other side. I slip off my fancy cropped coral shirt so that it doesn't catch on the jagged uneven rocks. I make sure my sneakers are tightly laced before scaling the rocky cliffs ahead of us. We place feet on jut outs and in cracks where chunks of stone had been removed. My fingers slip in the smaller cracks and I pull myself up, finally reaching the top. I pant as I stand up on the top if the tall cliff. It was worth it though. No matter how many times I see it, the view is astounding and always will blow us all away. A couple minutes after me, Georges pulls himself up on the ledge. He grins wickedly and walks over to where the harnesses are hanging. We pull them up and each attach one around our waist. Georges grins at me and holds up his fingers. Three. Two. One. At the same time we leap off the cliff. We fall down and as soon as we're about to hit the ground, we bounce back up. It seems to go on forever but we love bungee jumping. Once we're finished, we head back to our original stop and eat the picnic lunch that we packed an enjoy the fading golden glow of the sunlight. Once we've finished, we head back to our room to drop our stuff off and grab bathing suits. We head down to the pool for some nighttime splashes. We hang out in the pool for a while, going on the watersides and off the diving boards. Diving boards are fun but Georges and I still prefer bungee jumping. We head to the hot tub to play with the bubbles when we see two figures headed towards us.
