After my last journey into the jungle where I discovered one of the most beautiful places I have ever seen I decided it would be a great place to take guest from the resort to experience as I first did. I was given permission to do so by Sivi who is the rightful owner to the land where I found my look out. He originally used the land to grow Kasava, but because of the wild pigs was forced to abandon it and rent land closer to the village away from the wild beasts.
Sivi, Miti, Brian (owner of Matanivusi) and I went up there this morning with cane knives so I could show them the trail we were going to clear to reach the top of the mountain to take guest on nature hikes. We cleared away the brush and trees to make a single track trail all the way to the top of the mountain. The good thing about making a trail is it creates a designated area for tourist to walk without trampling over all the environment. After a few hours of clearing the trail we retreated back down to the resort, where I was going to find materials to build my bench. I grabbed two big logs about two feet long and a foot wide along with a piece of thick timber to use as the seat. Then my friend Lesse and I went back up the mountain to build the bench for ultimate meditation. The only thing to be done now is install a rope ladder along with steps up the steep mountain at the beginning of the trail so it will be accessible for everyone.
Lesi also showed me this second lookout over the resort that we will go back up tomorrow to build a second bench.
