Bras D'Eau NP Again - With Proper Shoes

The next morning, we made our way to Bras D'Eau National Park again, just as we told the security officer yesterday. We had packed lots of water and proper shoes to wander the Nature Trail. So we set off and were astonished by the many volcanic stones that were - unevenly - planted in our way. So the trail was much more exhausting than we thought it would be which resulted in swearing and sweating. But our surroundings were beautiful anyway. Especially the shells on the forest floor were yet again something quite miraculous, I must admit.
The sun went higher and our water bottles got emptied one after another. As we finally arrived the much promised beach, we were excited for the water to cool us off.
