I was a bit surprised to see so much hard rock in this side (south west) of island. It is also the drier side. For that, the greenery is impressive.

Called Monkey Bar, this is a bar set up in the green forests right on the beach with a lot of seating spots, hammocks, and all that to relax around. You now know where to find me this evening!!

We were taking a stroll thru the greenery adjoining the beach when suddenly, we came across this art studio!! We went up and explored all the paintings by a local artist. However, the artist himself was not there. We enjoyed the paintings, nonetheless.

On an aside, twenty years back, I would have just walked past this. Being married to an artist, now I am sucked into exploring art in every place we go. Appreciating art, of course, still escapes me. Till somebody comes up with a painting of the picture proving Pythagorean theorem, I suspect, this is not going to change much.

When we got down the airport, there was a sign that the island is trying to get its plastic problem under control. The resort has a nice park and garden as part of the property. We saw quite a few sculptures done with plastic bottles.

For all that, I am a bit curious, why they give our water in the room in plastic bottles.
