A warm trade wind pushes the bus along Ridge Road, and the hillside unfurls in slabs of color—murals painted into the steep curves like flags marking stories. The windows frame vignettes of sugarcane cutters, terrace farming and lantern-lit ghost stories; occasionally the driver eases the vehicle onto a shoulder so you can step out and take a closer look, feeling the island heat and the paint-scent of fresh work.
