Lalmatie

After the pouring rain had lightened a little and the streaming rovers had changed back into concrete streets, we continued our way to the Pont Bon Dieu Cave I've seen on Google Maps. We arrived at a little hindu shrine and we're a bit confused about the location. After researching the destination again though, we realized that we are already there. We followed the uneven stairs down the rainforest path whilst the rain drops continued to fall from the sky. Then we found ourselves in a stunningly beautiful cave, framed by huge black stones and green ranking plants. The sound of the raindrops on the leaves and the birds around, the atmosphere was magical. We crawled through one of the caves to the other side but couldn't find any bats. In the other big cave though, there were lots of birds and bats that made very much noise.
Finally, we decided we had enough and made our way back the slippery path unhurt. The drive back was still rainy, but at least most of the water had gone off the streets already. We saw a huge Sugar Cane Factory driving by, the steam not looking like the factory would have been allowed in the EU like that. We stopped by a supermarket to get some cheese and meat for breakfast, however we decided on processed cheese and corned beef - our substitutes for this holiday, I guess. We drove back home and decided to go to Satish once again, not only to get some great dinner but also to give him his well deserved tip for yesterday. We apologised and he just laughed about it, saying it was fine. We got some amazing starter called Baja (basically fried cheese in some kind of dough) and Seb asked about lots of plants and what he had in his soup tonight as it was edible. Satish told us that is is called Moringa and it's kind of like German peas, but you can eat only the seeds in the inside, bit the outer part. He also got lucky yet again to not only get a huge 650ml-bottle of beloved Phoenix beer, but also yet another Rum tasting for himself.Read more
