We LOVE Sint Maarten/Saint Martin!! This time around, we stayed on the Dutch side in the Simpson Bay Lagoon. We have completed most of our list of boat work while here and we have also enjoyed a couple hikes on the island. The first one was up to a communications tower on a hill overlooking the lagoon, which I did with Rob and Kelly from Relentless. It was a bit of a rainy morning and we had a short downpour as we reached the top. The second was from Gullin Road to the Natural Pool in Point Blanche on the southeast side of the island - the WILD side! Bryan and I both hiked this one with Rob & Kelly. It was pretty challenging, especially because we decided to climb up a steep hill on the cliff but the view was spectacular. We cooled off with a dip in the Natural Pool on the way back to Point Blanche - quite refreshing. We definitely earned the refreshments and lunch at Indigo Beach Restaurant!
