Walk in nature

This afternoon we went for an exploration to Marke beach. We had been told that you could get so far by road then we would need to walk. The road was a dirt and rock track about two miles off the good road i.e. beaten down stone, I was really looking forward to going as it seemed quite an adventure, it was!

Bumping around on the road was fun and there was nothing around, I mean no people, no rubbish not a sign that anyone was anywhere or ever had been, only farmed land, but no people on it that we could see! It was great to be so isolated, it felt as though we were the only people there as it was as silent as only nature can be. It felt so good just to be, lapping up the silence once we left the jeep.

After leaving the jeep when we got to the gates we then walked along the track. This was a 500-acre farm owned by one family and fronting eventually onto the beach, unfortunately we didn’t reach the beach because of the rains of late the way was barred by water. But we did enjoy the tranquillity of the walk, I took the photo’s and I particularity enjoyed taking the one of the butterfly. You see Bernie with his machete looking like my guardian angel, to me anyway.


Tonight now at 5-30 pm it is dark and the thunder is rolling around, the tree frogs are singing and there is a heavy feeling in the air, oh and there’s the lightning. Tomorrow is Juno Kweole or Creole Day, All sorts of traditional foods will be served up and a massive all island party will be on the go from breakfast to late night. We are going to drive down south and join in with Bernie’s Father James and his new wife Mutt for the celebrations.

Have a great weekend everyone,

Love Caro and Bernie
