The Perfect View

12/17/2011

Fort Hill, Union Island

With still no wind but low on food and grog we headed back to Union Island.

Fort Hill over-looking the harbor and airport of Clifton offers spectacular 360 degree views and provided a good hike for a much needed workout.







The island of Mayreau and the Tobago Cays were easily visible from this ruined 17th century French fort complete with rusty cannons and dilapidated walls. 
A hot and sweaty climb but well worth the panoramic view. 














The hike back down had as much to offer as the summit.  

A profusion of zinnias grow wild here on the island in all their reds, pinks and a surprise splash of yellow.












Top it off with a sunset walk on the beach at happy hour and the day could be termed perfect.
