Winter Walks: 2
It is good to get out and do a proper walk occasionally. A couple of Saturdays ago we did the trail from Solidão - near Marquito's beach house - to the foot of the island. We relaxed over it - about five hours of fresh air, wildlife and stunning views. No whales though: we must go back later this month.
The start of the trail - from Solidão to Saquinho.
Saquinho - a village reachable only by narrow path or boat, and then only when wind and wave are right. The green roof at the end of the village is a bar where we stopped on the way back: - the owner, born and raised there, is seen at the end of this sequence.
Just hangin' out. These caterpillars seen by the side of the path in woodland were probably about to moult, given that they clearly had not eaten all day.
Other islands seen through the trees as we came near the end of the island.
Cora, at the end point of our walk, the southern tip of the island.
Andrew
Owner of the small wayside bar at Saquinho. He is preparing sugar cane for the horse to eat: the horse being the means of bringing beer, soft drinks and food for the bar to operate.
