I heard water thundering down in a distance, but a wall of fog blocked any view that could be had from Johnson View. Would my worst fears come true: not seeing the waterfalls? As we got closer to Kaieteur, the fog seemed to mysteriously disappear, and once we reached the very edge, it was gone. My breath was taken away from me, and I stood in awe at this eternal natural beauty. I quickly left my bag in the lodge and returned to the point where the Potaro river dives down into its own gorge.
