©Ashuntae(2020) Grand Trunk Trail
The Grand Trunk Trail starts from the Perimeter Highway all the way to Beaudry Park which is a total distance of 10 Km. You can read about the first part of my hike here. Walking the Grand Trunk Trail - Starting out . This portion of the trail started at the Hart Road in Headingly. We were anticipating a more sheltered trail but the trees we saw in the distance was somewhat deceptive. soon we were into wide open spaces again, but a lot more scenic.

This portion of the Grand Trunk Trail was flanked by more farmers's fields on one side and some signs of civilation in the distance in the form of a new housing project. Walking into a sunset  provided awesome views on the quiet trail flanked by expansive vistas.

For the first time we saw some wildlife on the trail. Even though the sounds of frogs are pervasive and numerous gopher holes dot the trail, on this walk we found this lone goose. We followed the trail up to the edge of one farmer's field where there is a nicely placed bench for watching the sunset. The trail then winds around farmers' fields to the housing area. At this point we ended our leg and returned to Hart Road leaving the beautiful sunset behind. 

Next episode: We start from Talleau Road and see how far that takes us.

The serving staff behind the counter were pleasant enough but not very accommodating. I asked if they had veggie burgers and the guy looked at...

Natural wonders of the Bahamas – The Boiling Hole

Boiling Hole, Bahamas, Image credit Bahamas.com Google advanced images The Bahamas will leave you dumbstruck by the site of their natural wonders one of which is The Boiling Hole. Tidal conditions in the clear lake called the Boiling hole, created burps and bubbles. As the tide flows out to the sea, the water coming out of the cave causes bubbles on the surface.   When the tide flows inward, a whirlpool is created by the water rushing into the cave system. There is a boardwalk for viewing and a ladder to get closer to this wonder.   You may also get a glimpse of spy rays, baby sharks and the many birds nesting in the mangroves. The Boiling Hole is in Hepburn Town, Eight Mile Rock Grand Bahama Island.
