Day 7 - Friday - National Park Tour

Today we have rental car and we are driving to the remote North end of the Island to explore the National Park.

Some notes:
- allow 4+ hours to do long loop road
- bring food and water
- bring food for Simon the lizard, he does not bite, no teeth, but he will suck on your finger
- bug spray
- a 4x4 or high axel vehicle
- sense of adventure, you will need it all roads are red dirt and are not for armatures 

The Remote North end National Park


North End Lighthouse, still in use


North end Lighthouse, from the 1800's out of service, but what structure to sill be standing all this time


Ken and Karen at North End bluff and beach


This is a very pretty bird


This is NOT plastic, this is a real pink flimago at the North end of the island


Wild area


The road, they pave some of the hills to stop ruts, this is a +20 deg slope, lizards all over the North End, they like Cheese type chips and cheese, more likely they are big snackers, they will rush your car when stop, they are very friendly.

There was also a "lounge lizard" working the bar at our resort one night, but this is another story time.
