After reading more about the hike we were to undertake in
the mountains we were not sure it was a great idea, however 9.00 o'clock found
us on a Russian truck heading into the mountains, stopping at a coffee shop to
discover more about coffee production, and walking over a trail learning about
plants, the national tree which is the Royal Palm and all it is used for and
seeing several tomorrow birds. It was only a 1500 metres hike each way but the
last bit to the waterfall was sharply downhill for 500 metres. After viewing
the beautiful and spectacular scenery some folk opted for a swim but we oldies
thought it would be better not to hold everyone up and set off before them for
the steep climb back up the path. It enabled us to have more rests and sit at
the top to recover. A lunch followed in an open air restaurant. The run back to
Trinidad was bone crunching!
A pleasant late afternoon reading in the sun followed and we
ate out and listened to a band, in fact several bands.
