[Back to Index/Map]

We had a wonderful day out with our friends James and Lucy to see the Tikis or stone carvings.

The setting was wonderful

The tropical vegetation adding to the sense of mystery

We also visited some of the other sea side villages which were delightful.

And explored more of the jungle for more ....

rock carvings.

The fruits and flowers everywhere here are just wonderful
