After the excellent time at the school this morning, we headed to a coffee plantation which is also a hotel and a restaurant. Great stuff. The place was wonderful with a beautiful view of the mountains and an excellent menu. Established by a German family years ago, the place is a working coffee plantation that had just gone through it's harvest. But the other attractions are the best part. Wonderful food and lots of walking trails through the mountains, some that went for miles up the slopes and through some serious jungle. The trees were huge and you could hear the animals making all sorts of noises: from the birds, to the monkeys, to who knows what. The trails were challenging but absolutely beautiful.
Anyway, it was so dark that we had to use the only light we had: my camera. It didn't do too bad. Sarah was a bit nervous, but we started singing and made so much noise, we even scared away the insects.
Once we made it back to the restaurant there was a significant amount of well deserved ribbing, something that will last for a few days - or as Roger said, for a long, long time. Then we consulted the map and realized that we had climbed to the highest point on the trails: and it stops about the place we turned around. 1500 meters above the hotel/restaurant.
It's late and I'm headed to a bed....
