Last week I walked down to Adam's Bay and the end of the island to finally complete my tour of Bequia. Its another completely different area- a lot more rural with sand paths leading you down between thin beaches and dry hillsides.
Kind of more what I expected a sleepy Caribbean island to look like. And it was really nice and refreshing to see just 'wilderness' without any villas, roads or people...until I passed a large faded billboard advertising a condominium development and drawn out housing lots. Oh well. Judging by the rust on the machinery I don't think they'll be developing the area any time soon.

Another cool thing about this end of the Island is the Moonhole community- which has open stone houses scattered around the area, many deserted, and all very organically built. Officially its private property, but I went poking around the area and ended up walking out to the very end of Bequia for some great views.
I also managed to fall onto a cactus (don't ask) which gave me the strange satisfaction of completing one of those cartoon cliches- complete with sitting on a rock, picking long thorns out from my fingers and swearing.

Mañana?
Looking back at Bequia from the very end of Moonhole.
