Caves and Parks

After getting reamed on the ferry into the island, we were weary of forking over more money for overpriced tours, so our first day we rented a motorbike and explored the island on our own.

Our first stop was the Hospital Cave, a cave which was finished during the "American War" as they call it here in order to serve as a hospital. Why use a cave inside a mountain, you ask? It can't be carpet bombed.

The rooms of the cave were mostly empty, but a few had mannequins set up which was pretty creepy. We walked around and used our imagination to see what it might have been like as a busy wartime hospital.

After seeing the cave we continued up the road to the national park. There were several paths but we chose the path to the peak. After a relatively light hike we reached the top. It was a great reward especially for such a light hike. Stunning view in all directions!
