More hiking!


This time up the south side- we went to the highest point in Bequia, Mt. Peggy and got this amazing view almost of the whole island. Just in front is Admiralty bay with Lower bay beach (1st beach) followed by Princess Margaret beach and town just down after that. Behind us was the airport (to the left) and to the right is Friendship (Home!) and that's pretty much all of Bequia.


It was an easy walk up, but then we decided to walk along the spine of the mountain in the direction of the airport. No path? No problem... Donnaka was armed with his machete and we whacked our way through the bush (and a million spiky things) down to Paget Farm and back home for a relaxing drink on my balcony, and then an afternoon of lazing around and snorkeling on Lower Bay.


Oh, and the snorkeling... not too shabby. About a million different colors of fish plus eels, lobster, sea urchins, tiny see-through jellyfish and even an old shirt.

Great pic. Thanks for sharing! If you like hiking make sure you call Brent "the bushman" Goodin. He lives up in Sugar Hill and knows Bequia like no other! Also he is a lot of fun. His number is 784-495-2524. Tell him Dave referred you. He'll take care of you. My kids love Brent.
