Continuing Our Tour, The Skies Opened with a Deluge of Rain
Water is still not piped
throughout the island

The Garden is beautiful with signs describing the plants and

"The CRUSHING AND MIGHTY WATERS"

In the distance the coral reef is visible
A family of free range chickens
Crafts too big to take home
