Day 16 - Nova Lumina

Nova Lumina is located in Chandler above the old train bridge at the mouth of the Grand Pabos River. It is a 1.5 km mythical night walk where, for unknown reasons the stars are falling from the sky. The trail meanders through the forest where one is transported to a place where the sky meets the sea. Let your imagination wonder.
As you're adventure begin you're mission as a pilgrim is to carry the light of a fallen star(a walking stick) and return it to the sky.
At the sound of a celestial song, your star(the walking stick) is awakened to reveal its own stories. Through a magic portal that opens before your eyes, witness a journey in time at the speed of starlight. Your star's memories appear, visions of all it has seen since its birth. (Make sure your computer/phone volume is on)
As waves of light that shine from far off galaxies the light from these stars take years to reach the earth.
The open sky signals the pilgrims final steps. Your star is revived by all it has remembered and revealed, it is ready to return home to the sky where it will brighten the night for eons to come. May you always remember to look to the sky.
The self guided walk took us about 60 minutes and you do so at your own pace. Because it soooo dark we found a couple of times we really didn't know which way to go. The ground was uneven almost hazardous with rocks and roots sticking out. All in all it was entertaining and a fun night out.
Remember to always look to the sky
