Tramp-tastic

Thankfully this tramping trip was a breeze compared to the first one I did at the beginning of the semester. My group and I hiked to the base of The Needle, Rarotonga's highest point. We were taken on a guided tour of the island's jungle by Gerald McCormack, Director of Natural Heritage Project. He gave us a lecture on the island's geological and ecological composition (as impressive as that all sounds, I don't remember any of it). The paths were treacherous at times yet nonetheless doable. Once we reached The Needle's base, we ate lunch and also had the option of climbing to the very top of the rocky structure. I valued my life too much so I decided to stay behind along with a few other wise people.
