Climb Every Mountain

Tricia and I decide to explore the Bitter End while Cary and Ginny studied.  We took a nice walk along a path through the mangroves to Biras Creek Resort. A very top end resort on the side of the mountain facing east into the Atlantic. After a quick tour of the stables, tennis courts and beach, we asked if there was another path back to BEYC. "Sure, mon, its a 45 minute walk over the hill dat way." Perhaps he didn't account for our flip flops, physical condition, or the pending rain storms. 90 minutes later, Tricia and I stumbled down out of the jungle. We had found the right fork each time (2 right choices out of 2, not bad). We had conquered 2 peaks. (OK, 400 feet isn't a mountain, but we were in sandals, climbing over boulders and sliding down foot-width, muddy paths, trying hard not to grab onto the cacti for support!). Boy do they need some goats! The view of the harbor from the top was worth it.

Tricia slipped once, as the pictures show a muddy buttocks, but no permanent damage.
