Caribbean

We needed to check in at customs and immigration and Tony said he had the use of a car for a week and kindly offered to take us into St George’s. Well, did we have a ride! It turned out to be a very mini Mini Minor - the cutest thing ever - and four of us piled in. I’m still not sure how we did it. 😁 Everyone we drove past either looked, smiled, hooted, waved, aah’ed, pointed, or asked if they could buy it. The boys still think that the pretty girls were smiling at them. Shame. Anyway, after checking in, we went shopping near the Carenage Harbour and this involved walking through the Sendall Tunnel. Large trucks hurtle through here and you have to plaster yourself against the wall and pull your tummy in - some of us more than others! The chances of being wiped out by a side mirror were quite high. 🙈 On the way back we stopped at the West Indies Beer Company so that we could cool down, if you know what I mean. The most economic way to drink beer here is to order a bucket of six beers, so the boys had to do that. Faye and I were a little more abstemious. 😜 In the evening, there was a braai on the beach (95% South African) and it was good to meet some new yachties - a very social bunch! 😊Leggi altro
