Day 5- Day 2 On The Dolphin Trail

Today, we woke up in an extremely warm room, a huge improvement from the night before. After yet another delicious breakfast, we said goodbye to Dustin and the Misty Mountain Reserve and followed our guides into the woods (can we call it the jungle?) for our last day of hiking. Although this portion of the trail had less steep accents, the technical rock faces we had to attack proved to be even more challenging; however, yet again, Nicole and Lauren pushed on allong the trail, with more strength than the day before. After an hour long rest in the woods for lunch (we were really roughing it) we continued on our way to the last stop on the trail, the Fernery. The group unintentionaly split into two groups, the first led by Mrs. Howard, who apparently instructed the guide to walk fast and make no stops, and the second led by Nicole and Jon followed by the second guide.

Upon arriving at the Fernery, it didnt take long to discover how extravigant the chalets were. We had the coolest showers we have ever seen, a freestanding bathtub that was out in the open right up agains the patio looking out towards the mountains and the sea, and a porch that had an amazing view. As if the challets were not extravigant enough, the amazing 4 course meal ceartainly was. After dinner, we rested in the lounge area watching soccer and playing darts. We were happy to be finished with hiking and looking forward to the 4x4 ride back to the National Park in the morning. Day 2 on the Dolphin Trail was just as good as the first.
