Coastal trail

2025-03-19: We got an early start, and we took the local bus over to the east coast of the island. We weren't really sure what we were going to do for the day, but in the end, we walked from St. John's to Bathsheba. This was a very long and hot hike, and we didn't bring any food either. Once we arrived in Bathsheba, it was pretty easy to catch a bus back to Oistins.
