Morne Blanc

Today the intrepid six set out to climb one of Mahe's highest peaks Morne Blanc (667m). It is basically a huge slab of granite...
The path wound it's way up through the forest. Here's Karen and Lisa taking a break.
This is the view from the top looking north towards Port Laurney and the nature reserve at Bay Ternay.The 'Manc Lads' enjoying the view looking south towards Anse La Mouche, and checking out the abundant White Tailed Tropic Birds.
On the way down. Lisa checking that Dolly is OK. She carried Dolly all the way up and down.
We went to Port Laurney for a welcome swim after our climb.
We stopped at the Pirate Arms for some dinner. Here's Lily, with her new watch, tucking into her fish fingers.
We retired to the house to eat ice-cream and mull over the days adventures.
