 Yeah, so this is the most difficult thing I've ever done in my life. Hey! Look at my pants. They're drenched all the way. So this is the highest point in the reserve and it's called Hiawaiyo. And when you come here the view is just breathtaking. It's worth it. I mean, you might be crying during the hike but when you get here it's really worth it. It's really worth it. So you should come. But it's not for the faint heart because you might not like it. So maybe the first time you come you try a smaller mic. It was at this moment that the baboons wanted in on the action. But before that, let's go back to what you need to know. The hike to Hiawaiyo could either be 4 to 5 hours or shorter which is 2 to 3 hours in and out if you choose to drive to the base of the hill before climbing. We're supposed to be driving here but you are driving here. What's wrong with you? I didn't know this before I went but I would advise you go with an SUV as the terrain is insutable for small cars. It's also advisable to go as early as possible, preferably before 9am or time it well enough to catch the magnificent sunset. So say to Pia. Hiawaiyo is the name and in the olden days they put their war drum. A drum that when they spy at the top and see people coming to attack them they bring it out, they have entry at this two way open cave. They have entry and then they exit. Then they drum for the young girls and then the ladies or the young ones to run into the cave and then the men fight. So that's why we call it Hiawaiyo or drum cave. If they were not occupying the cave. And from the cave to the settlement is very far. If you want to get there it's more than one hour walk of which some of us we don't go there because they have their shrines and other things there. So we are going to hit 290 meters above sea level to the cave. As we walk along we see some of the fortress and then where they arrange stones to put up their muddy houses. For like the half a place we have the dam here, the Sayodam, sorry the Hiawaiyo dam. Where they fetch water from here. Walk all the way to their settlement. For now when you go there you see water. But when it dries it doesn't hold any water. So that is basically Hiawaiyo cave. The average modern human is not built for a terrain like this. He might kid himself that he has stamina but that vanishes into thin air when faced with an actual challenge. This adult male complains bitterly about an easy 30 minute hike up the hill. Somehow. How is this somehow? Yeah because it is not only hiking that is merely an exercise that will make you fit. It is one part that will make you fit. But the other thing that's where we do hike good eating habits can make you very strong. Like jogging, doing a lot of this and probably for the exercise. So it is only hiking down with me. So that is why I am at any time. They get scalded by the professional whose superhuman stamina is the envy of the other two wusses. Anyway, three caves can be found in the Shai reserve and these are Ajuku, Sayu and Hiawaiyo. People seeking adventure can climb to the summit of these caves and enjoy the magnificent views that await them at the top. It was such a relief for these two modern adults. The actual sighting of a monitor lizard would have been detrimental to the already shaky walk to the top of the hill. They would have gone running back. They can no longer take it. They need to prepare puka. What? Puka is a temple. That is prepared by the modern people. Okay. I think we are at the top already. You want to keep that? You want it? Take it, give it to him. Wusses collecting trophies. Tiss, tiss, tiss. Are we there? Holy crap! Well, this was before Ishimela guide made us go through the cave and come out of the other side to the top of the hill. There are two ways to do this. If you are claustrophobic, please tell your guide you'd rather choose the easy way. You should have had an idea. We are crawling out of rocks. The view is consoling. Are we going through this thing again? No. Oh, thank goodness. Did you go through the same thing? Yes, I went through the hole. Trying to play pick-a-boo. Join us again for another adventure coming soon.
