We stopped along the way to take some nice scenery shots of different plants (trees) in bloom, pick and eat some local fruit, and smell and taste some the local smells and tastes. We made it to the parking area up in the Trois Piton Nation Forest and walked for about an hour till we reached Boeri Lake. The lake level was down as we are in dry season (tell that to my tired, wet body). Clouds over the lake with visibility of about 50 feet or so - sometime more sometimes less. Lots of amazing plants and flowers along the way and a great hike.
Traveled from Boeri Lake to Fresh Water Lake but it was raining so hard and visibility was limited so Sea Cat asked if we would like to go somewhere else - we did.
We drove to the Trafalgar Falls area and parked.
After a short hike saw two amazing waterfalls (camera batteries dead so will try to borrow a few images from Island Wanderer) one fall is hot water and the other cold - we chose to go swimming (actually soak) in a few of the hot water pools - man did that feel good. I stayed in until I was wrinkled up good then was disappointed to learn that the wrinkles were not water induced! I dried out but the wrinkles were still there.

We then drove to an area further down the Roseau Valley to an area loaded with steam vents and boiling fumaroles. Incredible smell of sulfur and steam so hot it would cook you. Water boiling up from beneath the earth and a cave belching steam - amazing planet we live on - you get to see just how much so here on this island.
When we returned to the boat we noticed another Island Packet on a mooring up near the Cruise Ship terminal - probably a 350, 370 or 380 but to lazy to put the dinghy down and go for a ride to check it out.
Shower time now and then time for leftover chicken curry, steamed rice, mango chutney and shredded cabbage.
