Today we did around the island trip. As my dad is not that into seeing places twice nor undertand english too well, we didn't go to waterfalls, lakes or tours. We drove by the the burning carbage to the leapers hill.
There we took alot of pictures and found a small museum (I really mean small...) and tourist souvenier shop. The hill itself doesn't have much to see. The story why the Caribs jumped off the hill is more interesting.
(The stroy goes that caribs first let French to stay at the island, but then learned that it was a mistake. They tried to run the french out, but were defeated. Instead of surrendering to the french, Caribs decided to jump of the cliff to the sea.)
From the leapers hill we went to eat lunch at a local reastaurant that Pete knows. The food is not for vegetarians, let me just tell you that. Appetizer was local meat soup, then buffet with chicken, fish and roti, and finally dessert would have been Ice cream and/or coffee/tea.
From there we drove by the islands oldest rum factory, through the Grand Etang rain forrest to home. :) Oh, and because I forgot my camera in Pete's car there is no pics of the trip available until tomorrow night after we have returned from LaSagesse (Yes we are going there again).
