Last week I shared the first part of the Bras D'eau series where I talked mainly on our nature walk in the forest and also share couple of photos of the famous water well that you will find at the entrance where you start your walk...

This water well is located just at the beginning of your walk when you arrive at Bras D'eau...you will have to pass by it, impossible to miss!

I did not enquire much on it, but briefly from what I understood is that this was built by slaves back then and was where fresh water was taken out for consumption.

I felt kinda nostalgic when visiting the water well...hmmm like I felt that there must have been many hardships that the slaves went through over here...

But it was such a beautiful place to take in photos...so I put my nostalgy on side and started to take some photos to share w

Coming back to the water well...

So yes...inside, you find this little structure where they were pulling up the fresh water.

I was just too excited to start with my nature walk that I really did not enquire much on this one but rather took photos...

Anyway...I will be visiting Bras D'eau couple of times more as I simply loved that place so much...

Everywhere looks fresh and clean, then you are surrounded with amazing nature...an you even have chairs and tables to have your foods and drinks!

I feel like...this Bras D'eau series will be a long one...as I still have a lot to share and write on my first ever visit of this amazing place!

So...stay tuned for the next part where I will write and share about...animals you can see at Bras D'eau!!!
