A National Park Trail
Wild guavas, green parrots, and traveller’s tree, a cousin
to the Bird of Paradise, are some of the features of Black River National Park Mauritius
“Ooups! I did spot a small creature running across the
trail,” I told Kala, the organizer of the walk.
The trek was great as a form of a community-builder. Bonding is so important to put in the
classification of a human need, and so I'm grateful that each time I come to
this isle of Mauritius
When a community is institutionally based there's often a
routine of activities that may restrict the friendly flow of
communication. Things sometimes get
formal, when it's imperative to be able to loosen and laugh.
Our trek through endemic, indigenous, and invasive plants,
over red, volcanic soil, included crossing three creeks as well as movement
along the edge of a major reservoir.
I asked about swimming, but the reply was a speculation on
eels being in its waters, so you can forget that idea.
We culminated the walk with a picnic. On the menu were ekadasi dishes. We relished this non-grain day which occurs
every fortnight.
May the source be with you!
