For anyone who has ever hiked with me before, you know that I can get easily winded and one might also say easily irritable...
Today's hike up to Pic du Paradise was no exception. After an hour and a half of uphill hiking, wet rocks, and one wrong turn, I almost threw up the white flag. But then, we made it (finally!) to the top. The view was spectacular and crystal clear. The island looked stunning from the highest point on the land. Chris and I hugged, and then, it happened. The skies opened up in an instant and let out a torrential downpour. So all of our photos from the top are foggy. Well played, Mother Nature.
The view truly was spectacular though, and our lunch at the bottom of the hill at Loterie Farm was some of the best food we've had yet on our trip.
After our vigorous hike, we returned to the hotel for a dip in the hot tub and pool. Then we hit the road again to quaint Grand Case, where the main street is lined with restaurants for all palettes. We started at a local BBQ joint, then had amazing desserts (including rose ice cream) at a French restaurant.
Overall, a very busy but rewarding day for us, with lots of photos to share!
