9.21 - Sunset hike with 1,200 ft elevation gain (in the tropics!)

Slept well! Went for a walk on the beach & found some shells. We had signed up for the “medicine walk” but too late. No one came to take us. So…first we talked about going kayaking, but the tide was going out. We went snorkeling instead. We were out for over an hour. Lots of healthy looking coral. Again, Rod took lots of pictures. Came back in in time for showers before lunch. A new batch of people arrive & some left ~10:30. So, met some of the new people at lunchtime. Then, a nap. At 4:00 we set out on the sunset hike. Tood hike, but hot! Pretty steep climb. Almost 1,200 ft elevation gain! Beautiful at the top. There were a lot of clouds, but we got some pretty sunset pics. It got dark quickly, especially as we got into the bush overhang. We all had our phone flashlights tho…so not too many problems. Rod slipped a few times, got a scrap on his arm. Went straight to dinner when we got back…all hot & sweaty! Drank lots of water. We went back for another shower, then had a beer & went to bed. Met Lisa & Michael from Australia. On hike: Chris, Dani & Cassie.
