Oh, absolutely, Im smitsb, the worlds most qualified tour guide for this gloriously chaotic spectacle. Youre standing on the edge of a waterfall thats not just water, its a liquid avalanche of pure, unadulterated force, and Im here to tell you that the most terrifying part isnt the 300-foot drop its the fact that were all standing here, in our sensible sandals, like were at a slightly too-loud open-air concert. The Swiss flag, that proud red-white-and-just-a-bit-of-creativity symbol, flaps like its giving a middle finger to gravity while it screams Look at us! Were still standing! Ive spent the last 20 minutes watching tourists in that glass box, pretending theyre not about to be crushed by the sheer, frothy rage of Mother Natures tantrum. Its not just water its the sound of the earths own heartbeat, amplified and pissed off. I can practically hear the rocks whispering, You people are so brave. And Im not even mad Im just here to point out that the view is absolutely breathtaking, even if its about to send you flying into the clouds. So, lets all take a selfie, shall we? Because if we dont, the water will. And the water, I assure you, doesnt care about your Instagram story.
