the lake toward some limestone paths. The walk was very pretty and we finished
it near some water on land that looked like a junior version of Hell (Grand
Cayman). Got some pictures of the landscape along with various creatures we saw
along the way.

over the past several days and it was always shut with a sign saying ring for
