Aqua Verde Hike and a mummified turtle

Dec 26- a calm morning despite the forecast of winds up to 30 knots. At 10 am we met several others on the beach to hike over to some caves.  Since our desert hike escapade I have grown weary of hiking as I seem to pay for it later, carrying the weight of Fynn on my back and the baby bump in the front.

This hike was pleasantly different. Fynn was hugely energetic and walked a large portion of the way there – maybe even two of the three kilometres. The path was easy- we followed it up over the ridge behind the house on the beach, which lead down to an old cemetery. From there we followed a washed out river bed to the beach, then continued left along the beach until we reached the base of the cliff. From here you can see the caves, and we scrambled up the path to have our lunch in the caves.  When we had feasted on the view and our snacks, we took the road back, a hotter and less lovely way home.

The wind had picked up when we got back to Asunto and it would blow a steady 20 knots plus for the next 36 hours.
