We arranged to do an inland tour with guide supreme and good friend Martin. Martin stopped by to pick us up at 0800 and then we picked up folks from two other boats before setting out on our trip through Carib Country to Spany Falls. We stopped along the way and had Johnny cakes and a rest stop before continuing up the new road connecting Roseau and the airport (road is still at best one lane wide along most of the route.
We got to the first of the two falls after a great road trip to the area. The falls are deep in the rain forest so as we got closer to the falls the humidity went up and the forest became darker.
After reaching the falls everyone had to go in for a swim to cool off. Cool it was, except that the area right under the falls seemed to be warmer! Lesley found the warm spot.
After reaching the second of the two falls Lesley and Martin ham it up in this group shot. John, Portland, Maine was having a great time as well.One of the really amazing plants we saw on the hike.
A small flower that felt like porcelain
On the way back to Portsmouth we crossed out of
the rain forest and stopped at a nice swimming spot on the Layou River where we swam and then relaxed in a warm pool heated by volcanic activity, right on the river. A great day on a wonderful Island with a great friend.
Looks fantastic. I wonder if it was Martin who toured us into the interior in '95?
