Because our Hiking group was 15 years young this Sunday, we celebrated the event with a Safari to the Zevenbergen ruins in the Christoffelpark.
Starting at Christoffel Park, Plantation house Savonet. 3 pm.
The Park - open from 6 am on Sundays - is then closed to other visitors.
Following a small trail, the climb to the remnants of the Manor House Seven Mountains was a mere trifle.
On to Seru Gracia.
Along the way, we saw Orchids and Bromelias in the trees.
The Shimariku cherries tasted delicious.
The short walk to the top evoked many oh's and ah's.
The view is beautiful in all directions.
From there we saw the Sabalpalms, only growing in that particular place.
The mountainsides are colored by layered rocks, a Flagstone formation, that arose around 80-90 million years ago.
On to Seru Bientu (Wind Hill).
The little walk up was virtually no effort. A cooling breeze on the mountain and a soothing lower temperature.
Two young Warawaras landed in front of our cameras.

There are old curved Dividivi trees and Sabal palms.
The route back to Savonet followed winding and steep roads.
