Waitukubuli Section 5

30/4/2016

So its back to knocking off segments of the Waitukubuli National Trail, so on to Section 5. Which pretty much starts in the dead centre of the island and heads east to the coast. An hour or two walking through nice peaceful covered forest with a bit of agricultural land (where i stopped to chat to some farmers about the frog) brought me to Emerald Pool again. Had a lovely refreshing dip but as I was getting changed to leave I got stung my fire ants one on the eye and one on the scrotum so I had a pretty miserable hours worth of hiking until the burning itching sensation died down. After that it was a leisurely stroll along side the road and rivers until I got to a friends house (she happens to live right next to the trail, which is fortunate) where i set up shop (hammock) for the night. After having a lovely evening (CHEESECAKE) and breakfast with my friends and teaching some local boys that glow flies are not witches in disguise I set off to Castle Bruce to finish the hike. Which took me past, and NOT over, a bridge in dire need of repair! Then it was just an hour through some agricultural land till I got to Castle Bruce and jumped on a Bus back to Roseau.
