Day 3
Another lazy day in the tropics Slept in a bit until 8:30 , sunned on our deck for a while before heading down to breakfast, enjoying the view from the terrace.
Explored all our options including renting a car for an island tour, an escorted tour (Luc and Jen's choice), a ride into town, a 4-wheel ride into the hills or just lay around some more. We settled on laying around and a ride into town for some shopping.
First we headed back to our bungalow for some more relaxing on our deck. I snorkeled a while, but the current was a bit strong, so that was cut short, but not before seeing some amazing fish right in front of our bungalow.
A ride into town uncovered what appeared to be an Apple
store-maybe this is the place for BG to transfer, since there are lots
of churches here+ an Apple store look-a-like. I picked up some stamps
for Steve and then we headed to the highlight of our shopping trip. You
might think it was pearls, but you would be mistaken! We stumbled on a
self-serve froyo place called Yo Me, including all the toppings -yummmmWandered around the shops and market, not much interesting, but did finally find a Pareo for Bonnie.
Back to the hotel for , you guessed it, food and snorkeling. Some chips and dip (Doritos and salsa- not a great combo), a bit of chatting up some friends from Canada we had met that were joining us on the cruise(Karen and Peter) then back in the water.
Relaxed, then off a fantastic French restaurant (Le Lotus) on the water. AMAZING. Between us we sampled grilled kangaroo, lobster stew, foie gras, rack of lamb, duck and veal. A meal to be well remembered.
Tomorrow we head to the ship, we are all sorry to be leaving this wonderful place, but there is more of paradise still to discover.
