Kenscoff to Jacmel – Parc National La Visite
Tranquil.Languid.Refreshing I really love walking. Which is strange because in London I hate it, if I have to move more than three or fours metres it is on two wheels, and anything less than that feels slow and tedious. Yet take me out of the city and away from a bike and my desire
