Much more than Kershorn (Toco)

Today I found myself taking that two hour drive to Galera Point just north east of 

Toco. First of all I must say the scenery was incredible. There were so many coconut vendors, cucumber stalls and different shops along the way. One particular site that really made me stop in my tracks was this house that had these interesting and beautiful pieces of wooden art hanging in front it.  I stopped and enquired as to what they were and who was making it and was greeted by a colourful individual named Marcus Frection. His art as well as his character is unique as each piece is significant.

In addition to the gorgeous scenic drive up to Toco we also saw a lot of patriotism for Kershorn Walcott, this countries latest Gold Medal Olympic Winner. There were banners and graffiti on many walls congratulating him and showing their support and appreciation for him.

We finally got to Galera Lighthouse and boy was it a sight to see. The light house though over one hundred and fifteen years old was as gorgeous as the first day it was built (I can only imagine as I am not 115 years old lol). 

We then followed the paved trail from the lighthouse to Galera Point lookout. The view was breathtaking and nerve racking all at the same time. There were signs surrounding the cliffs warning of "Approach at own risk" "Management does not accept liability for any loss or damage" along with a couple others. I took these warnings VERY seriously. I did manage to get a couple pictures and to take in the Panoramic view of the Caribbean sea and the Atlantic Ocean. 100% worth the trip.
