Last weekend I trekked from Green Turtle Lodge 6 kilometers to Cape Three Points, the closest land to 0 longitude/0 latitude. I guess I don't know how many miles 6 kilometers is. We traveled on the beach, over land, up hill, through woods, over rocks, through a flooded, uncleared path and finally arrived. Emily sprained her ankle yet kept on hiking with nary a complaint. Linden went ahead to recon the rocks but was turned back.

We passed through several small villages and found folks who were kind enough to guide us. After four hours, we made it.
Unluckily, the lighthouse keeper wasn't there. Luckily, Haroon and five friends in an SUV picked us up for the return trip. THAT 6 kilometers took an hour and a half, not including the stop for gas and goat kabobs.
