This was special! It was our first, and it was just us three. Richard, our local friend, referred his friend Lumumba Corriette and had taken the tour many times before with his children. Stevi and I being novices, trusted them completely. 3.5 hours at sun up in gorgeous St Croix on a perfect day! The tour included up and down STEEP hills (please wear the appropriate shoes!), through the mountains, on the sea coast, colonial ruins, and moist forest (not a true Rain Forest). Learned so much from herbalist and naturalist Lumumba - from flora, fauna and local history and medicine, to very interesting conversation about living! Little did we know, although we were beginners, Lumumba didn't give us the beginner's hike. I guess he thought us to be the strong women we are and challenged us to literal NEW HEIGHTS! The highlight was the tidal pool half way through for a very much needed and refreshing break! And at the end, very tired after the up hill climb, we enjoyed natural smoothies.
