Well what an awesome experience! We all piled into Greg's van and off we went to join the weekly Hash which started on BBC Beach. On arrival there were hundreds of people waiting to kick start their walk or run, dependent on your ability and energy levels. Everyone signed in, the crowd was briefed and the trails were opened.
Off we went, along the beach, up some very daunting hills, through the local homes, past the children's home, alongside the airstrip, over a river, up some more daunting hills, through the forest/bush, past some very inviting rum shops, down some steep hills, through the town, down dusty highway, and then up another daunting hill, down onto the beautiful white sands of BBC Beach and right into the warm Caribbean Sea!
We met some very cool people along the way, we bumped into many people we have already met on our travels around the island and also had the pleasure of meeting Paul from the DSTV series, Distant Shores.
After a grueling 7km walk/run, we enjoyed a few ice cold beers and a hearty meal. A swim in the sea and some great conversation. The sunset was breath-taking and we were all pretty exhausted!
Joshua took on the walk/run with us like a superstar! He had lots of fun and enjoyed meeting up with some of his friends from Kids Camp.
A long hot shower, dinner, a cup of tea and that was it... lights out and fast asleep!
We are signed up to join next weeks Hash and it's going to be fantastic! This is a brilliant way to see the island and meet some very nice people.
If there is a Hash taking place in your area, take the time and join in the fun. You won't be sorry, you will be sore, you will be exhausted afterwards but it is all well worth the effort.
Until next week!
