Monday 3rd December 18
We reach Tula house around midday. It is an old Dutch plantation house, on the top of the hill. The views are magnificent, all green with a glimpse of the sea in the distance. The master house is small but there is quite a few dependences which have been restored and many more that have not. The museum takes its name from a slave leader who fought the Dutch authorities in the late 1700, losing his life in the process. Nice little museum mingling art and period artefacts [looking at the black and white pictures, straw hats were produced here]. The yellow house is surprisingly cool even under the eaves… I could live there, love the views and the sea is so close.
