Day three

Our Wednesday began with eggs, waffles, bacon, and fruit for breakfast to energize us up for our hike through Walsingham Park. Our guide Kyla explained how the history of the caves and their importance to the island. The park had lots of branches and leaves down due the recent storm but it did not stop us from making our way to Blue Hole first and then across the entire park. We were lucky enough to get a chance to learn how the volcanic rock and limestone caps support the islands structure. Blue hole is the place where we all had the opportunity to dive off of the cliff (approximately 20 feet ) into the gorgeous water.

 Refreshed from our dives and swim, we gathered ourselves to trek across the park via the trails under the canopy. Half way across, we were treated to a venture into a cave and actually got to swim in the cave. After braving the cave, we hiked up rocks and over downed trees while being taught about the environment all the way. Back to BIOS for lunch and then to Tobacco Bay for a leisurely snorkel loaded with sergeant majors, parrot fish, damsels, grunts, squid, and more. We took a hike to see the beautiful panoramic views of the surrounding waters and marine traffic. Then it was back to BIOS for dinner and a very informative lecture on this history of Bermuda.
