Day 634 was yet another early day for me. Up at 8 getting ready for our North area tour I checked the wifi quickly with no luck. Sheldon slept in and finally at 8:45 I woke him up to get ready. Greg arrived just after 9 and our tour began. We saw local food places worthy of eating at, Reduit beach, a $40,000/2 weeks rental place, a spa where Amy Whinehouse enjoyed for months until she threw up on the buffet table, lol it was really nice, pigeon island, cap estate golf area ending at cas en bas beach which had a rocket booster from 1994, local food and giftware and horseback riding.
We were dropped back at the local coffee shop Rituals which is similar to Starbucks just after 11.We enjoyed coffees, smoothies, paninis and burgers. Back at the condo Stouts went shopping for a watch while Sheldon and I enjoyed some sun on the front grass. Sheldon even tested out the pool a couple times. Once they were back we headed out, did a few stops at the duty free mall then wandered back to rituals for the yummiest hot chai tea. We walked to Reduit beach enjoying the time in the sun sipping our hot beverages. We then checked out Marie's, the beach bar serving booze and food. An interesting booze bottle full of leaves and shrub we later found out was spiced rum. We walked the 2 mile beach to Spinnakers and check out their menu then walked back to our point of entry. We walked back to the condo checking menus as we went.
Back home we decided we should get groceries after a refreshment. At the IGA we loaded up on groceries, interestingly they sold Canadian potatoes and carrots which of course are out of season.
Back at the condo Sheldon whipped up frozen Bananarama rum drinks. Sharon cooked up a mean vermicelli and meat sauce while I made a fresh salad. The wifi finally worked!! Apparently it was done farther out than the condo.
Robert our condo manager showed up while we dined telling us about local tours and interests. After clean up we readied for our adventure on the local bus to Jump up, the local Friday night festival. Darren and Sharon were enamored with their first local bus ride. Like Bardabos, it is very cheap costing us $3 a couple one way, that is like a dollar or .50/person!. We took a detour to drop a mom and her little girl off eventually getting to the festival. it was quite the event. Vendors lined the road with food and drink as well as art and jewellery too. There were so many mongrels just hoping for a scrap of food. A few cats perused thru as well. Young boys whipped up palm frond fish and I bought a lucky rose. We enjoyed rum punch,Pitons and Sheldon tried the macaroni pie which he quite enjoyed.
We ventured back to the condo via the local bus,this one a bit fancier than the last about 9:30. Once home Sheldon whipped up more special drinks, we all checked emails etc and played Golf. Stouts were off to bed just after 11. I updated the blog during cards and after while Sheldon watched TV then we eventually headed to bed too to read.
