Our driver of choice, Kishorn, took us on a tour of St. Vincent. We tried to go to see the volcano, Soufriere, but the road and trails were blocked by fallen trees, caused by the hurricane.
Instead, we stopped at Black Point Tunnels. These tunnels were dug by hand, by slaves in 1815, for a sugar operation. They are really quite remarkable.
One area was dug out, intended for storage, but an underground fresh water stream was uncovered and this created a refreshing swimming hole.
This is such a special place, that even many locals haven't heard of it.
There were bats living in the tunnels, and Austin loved that! They were flapping over our heads as we walked through the damp tunnels.
