15 days project - São Thomé das Letras - Part 10

  Chapter 9 – Into the flowing waters kingdom     I woke up around 1 am , saw a sky full of clouds , went back to bed and again fall asleep , woke up few hours later and stayed in bed until i saw some sign of light in the sky (around 6:30 am) , after breakfast and equipped with what i had to protect me from the cold (jacket, hat, gloves) , i left towards the lion’s cave , another famous tourist spot in São Thomé , when i got there , i saw a couple leaving , i imagine that they were about to wait/photograph the sunrise , which was already completely above the horizon. After several photos in the lower part of the cave , which actually looked like a narrow hole on a huge rock , i decided to climb to its roof , with a little difficulty and cautiously , within 10 minutes i was at the top taking photos and looking for a place to rest. Surroundings of the lion’s cave early in the morning      I took photos from all angles and made the necessary records , then i...

  Chapter 6 – Atypicalities     My day today started well before dawn , it was around 3 am when i woke up , i really wanted to put on a coat and go to my favorite observation point (the crux – o cruzeiro). The logical mind soon tried to stop this impulse with arguments of all kinds , while having breakfast i went to the window and saw a starry , cloudless sky , i also noticed that there was no wind noise and the visible trees were not moving. I immediately thought about the opportunity to have a better thermal comfort. I put on appropriate clothes and set off through the deserted streets of São Thomé.     As I got closer to the access to go up , i saw 2 pubs still open with people enjoying themselves with relatively loud music. The climb as always , tiring and when i reached the top and prepared to turn off the “flashlight” mode on my cell phone , i saw that it was precisely 3:44 hours , there was no one on the crux and still panting from the climb , i loo...

  Chapter 3 – At the point     After  incredible experiences i had yesterday , today my intentions are in order of priority: the São Thomé’s grotto usually called: “a gruta”(the grotto) , another famous tourist spot , a return to the witch’s stone and later a return (at night) to Cruzeiro. Considering that generally the most appropriate time to write is in the morning , today (8/8/23) at 5 am i was already up making breakfast and organizing things to write , my morning departures take place around 10 am . I left around this time towards the São Thomé’s grotto (a gruta) which is nearby, about  25  meters away from the supermarket which is on the other side of the square. I arrived at the grotto , took external photos of the entrance and the plaque with historical information about the grotto and entered. Inside , i saw two chambers , a smaller one on the left probably used for meditation or rituals , it had  a narrow entrance that in my opinion only all...
