2. A STAIRWAY TO....?
Heading to 'town' again... some (very) old stonework on the left caches my eye. It's a staircase (in the loosest sense of the word) leading to... who knows where? So it's a little muddy from the rain, so I've got my full pack on my back (of course I could have explored yesterday when I was traveling lighter, but where's the Fun in that?), so let's go...!
The air is wonderfully heavy with that post-rain green, tropical aroma. Muddy steps give way to a steep muddy track (good job I don't have to come back down this way, that would be treacherous) which gives way to a muddy clearing at the top of the hill in which there is... an unfinished house(?). Well, more barely started than unfinished.
OK, there's signs of habitation (let's not mention the pack of dogs that are yapping away madly) so I'll keep a respectful distance and continue my way along the ridge line. Hmm... not this way... nor that way. No, I don't want to go back down the hill. Maybe over these rocks? I said "I don't want to go back down the hill". Well, there are the dogs. And I reckon they just KNOW that the only way along the ridge line is past them. OK, I'll go back down the hill... with the words 'discretion' and 'valour' buzzing through my head!
