Today was a whole day spent with the family <3 we had a day out and went to quite a few places, including a big family picnic with lots of yummy delicious food. They literally make all their own food because they don't really have any halal take away shops but all my aunties cooking was top notch! (and other relatives who made food/desserts for the picnic)
My cousin also took me and my sister for a drive around the island. We drove to the top of the island called St.Lucy. This is also where the Flower Cave is. It is a very popular tourist attraction which was very interesting. There was this flower that opens when touched and I found that super cool. Don't have a picture of it though.
Had to take my shoes off whilst going through the cave because it is very hard to walk in shoes with lots of rocks. All that walking in the cave made my feet hurt! Walking on rough rocks with some slightly sharp edges isn’t exactly fun but the views from the cave were stunning so it was worth it! <3

The views from the top of the island are just everything! Just look for yourself.
Isn't it just phenomenal!
We then headed back to the park with the rest of the family for the picnic at Farley Hill. Later on that day we went to another scenery tourist place called Cherry Tree Hill which by the way was stunning too! After that we headed back to the park and had some snacks and desserts with the fam, chilled out with my cousins and explored around - as tourists do!
Harrison Cave is one of the most famous and popular tourist attractions. My relatives took us there. It was a little drive there but not super far. I just love sitting in the car with the windows rolled down and having that cool breeze blow on you! 'Ahhh so perfect <3
Harrison Cave had some history to the place and I learnt a few things.
To get to the cave you have to sit on a tram which takes you there.
At first seeing the cave underneath is WOW- but then as you carry on going you see pretty much the same stuff. They take you around in a tram under the cave and at certain places it stops so you can go out and see things up close and take pictures too! It is an amazing gallery full of stalactites hanging from the caves and stalagmites which emerge from the ground. They are all so unique and come in many different shapes and sizes. If you love science and history this is definitely an interesting place to visit!
