October 2007
Towering cliffs surrounding the cirques, mountains and valleys, canyons and meadows all contained within.
Wonderful and numerous water falls – highland and lowland, long and thin, glimmering in the rosy evening sun, wide, full flowing cascades, crashing into still deep pools.
Crazy, weird, mulleted hill dwellers, morning lone drinkers on random corners.
Lava, lava, lava
Lava flowing down the mountain to the see
Lava flowing across the road (blocking the only way around the island)
Lava cracking under foot, breaking like glass, emitting warmth (evidence of the recent eruption). Proximity to lava that is slightly worrying and not wholly allowed.
Black sand beach, hot under foot and on top of foot in the strong spring sun.
Crashing waves arriving in sets, spraying through blow holes, clear glassy water with the offshore breeze. (Apparently appreciated by numerous sharks).
Volcano, crater, mountain, crater, lava, smoking, lava, path fallen into the lava, crater.
Canyons, jump, slide, swim, abseil, jump, slide – fall. Wet, warm, dry.
Piton: tallest peak up up up, dark 4am up. Fantastic views over everywhere we have been. Down Down Down, knees alert.
Turtles, sea, sand.
