Throwing stones for cocoanuts

Arnaud decided he would spend the day scuba diving as Richard and I decided we would like to check out the waterfalls. Having missed the last bus we changed our plans to take a rather lengthy walk along the coast. We met with many things on the way, including a group of puppies and local children that loved nothing more than to walk with us for awhile and chat about life on the islands. I have never been more impressed by the scenery – it was like living in a picture book. The layout of the land I have only ever seen in National Geographic-like books and Google images. To top it off we tried very hard to knock down cocoanuts with stones. We were both able to knock one down but had no luck finding them in the undergrowth afterwards. Then, on the way home, a local informed us it’s nearly impossible to knock down a green cocoanut with stones. Such is life! We may as well opt for buying them instead!
