We decided to head on over and do some hiking at the Iao Needle. The Iao Needle is the mountain formation behind us in the picture. We bought Tevas for hiking here because we knew the ground was uneven and there was a stream.
As we began our hike on the concrete path (just the way I like it), the girls started teasing us, saying they were so glad they were wearing their tevas (which they nicknamed "Les Tevs").
The Handsome Husband was also not so happy about walking on the path.
So he climbed down the embankment and started hiking upwards through the stream.
He called for all of us to follow. The girls did. The water was not deep, but kind of fast. The rocks were slippery. Being that I was not so steady, I stayed where I was. The girls, however, hiked up stream.
Ahh, satisfaction at last. A man, off the beaten trail, alone on an island, surrounded by danger. Happy as a clam.
This is the point were HH decided he'd had enough of the water and the jungle/rainforest was calling his name.
There was a teeny weeny little worn path through the underbrush of ferns, roots, and palms. We took it. It was a nice overcast day, in the shade of the trees and it was still hot and humid.
The girls found this tree and they played in it for at least 30 minutes before I called an end to it.
They loved this tree.

lol@concrete path...that's my idea of a hike. What an adventurous family. Thank you for sharing.
P.S. I also love the hotel and the fabulous sculptures.
