Horseback Riding

"Erik let us explore the island first."  Aryana was horrified when she saw the desire in Erik's eyes.

Erik relented.  They went outside the villa to survey their surroundings.  The island was privately owned and only accommodates a few tourists to maintain the privacy of the guests. 

"You want to go horseback riding?" 

Aryana's eyes sparkled.  "That sounds interesting." 

Erik called the caretaker of the villa they rented and explained his intention.  Soon a tour guide approached them.  They left the beachfront and walked in the direction where the horses were kept.

"It will be a two-hour ride." the guide explained the route.  They will go up the mountainside to view the waterfalls, then ride down the mountainside to the coastline.

Erik smiled to see Aryana bubbling with excitement like a child.  They went back to their villa to get necessities for the ride.
