The rain statarted in the late evening, then strong wind came to Saba Island. My little cottage is sheltered on the slope but the water came inside through the open door anyway…
Clouds, fogg and rain… Hopeless! They do not operate flights to the island during such a weather. What will be if I’ll be forced to stay here longer then I plan?
In the late afternoon it cleared up a little bit. I took my cameras and started walk along the main road (here is only one road across the island built in 1938-43). It is like a hike: the views are breathtaking but practically every step you take on Saba is either up or down a hill!
Sorry, I did not have the sun for my pictures today… I went as far as Hell’s Gate. 🙂 Would you like to live in the Hell’s Gate? It is the third and the last settlement on Saba. Nowadays they don’t like it so the official name is Zion Hill. But the old one seems to be still more popular outside the village. There is little catholic church in the Hell’s Gate. 🙂 And the views of the coast and the tiny airport are breathtaking!
OK. Let’s keep the fingers crossed for the tomorrow’s weather! The trail will be slippery after heavy rain but I still want to see the island from the top!
