Boboyo is a little peak outside of Kaele. It rises from the flat land to around 700 metres up. Lizzy and I climbed it after being given permission from the village Chief and with the aid of a guide, the local PE teacher. We were also accompanied at various stages by some local youths.Boboyo is very steep and the climbing, though generally safe for a novice like me has a couple of "interesting" parts. The view from the top is exceptional and it really shows the vast scale of the land you are in.The village below Boboyo seems small from the top. We took time to sit and take in the view in a pleasant cool breeze. A cave created by several bolders also provieded a space to sit in the shade, cool off and have a chat. It was still only around nine o'clock, we started climbing at seven thirty and this, according to the villagers was late in the day!
