after we left the caves, we had to hike back up the hill. finally we reached the top (the incline! the exhaustion), via a short cut which seemed to take a lot longer; then we had to wait for some sucker to take the long way round and pick up the car. even more villagers gathered round, lots of people to greet; hung out and chewed sugar cane; + stared out at the views. (my mind was a flat line at this stage.)
