Today we travelled south down harrowing heights and hairpin turns to reach the Piton Mountains. They are volcanic plugs. Volcanic plugs are created when molten lava hardens in a vent. The photo below is a classic tourist pose and was taken from Tet Paul, nature reserve. We saw pineapples, mangos, bananas, coffee, cocoa, passion fruit, cashew trees, papaya, apricot, prickly pear, sugar cane, nutmeg, and a multitude of flowers. Our guide, MaGyver, was very knowledgable and funny. He was a great guide.
On the way home we stopped and bought casava bread on the side of the road. We are having it tonight with our goat stew for dinner. Casava bread is made from the casava shrub's roots, and is a food staple, throughout the Caribbean Basin.
