Feb 12 – We are in super relaxed mode, as there is really not too much to do here. Ingrid makes our breakfast in the morning (we have no input on the breakfast selection, but everything is very good), we walk down to the beach to swim, have lunch in town, and then swim in the pool in the afternoon.
We bring back take-away for supper, as we just can’t consume the quantity of food that Ingrid provides, and she doesn’t seem to be open to negotiation. We asked if we could perhaps have a smaller supper, and she told us, “no, the supper is fine.” Sigh. Her meals are more expensive than the restaurant in town, and there is no ATM here. I hope our money lasts the week!
Jim got up early to capture the sunrise from our veranda Breakfast of vegetables, cheese and fry bread with nutmeg jam, enjoyed with our new friend Angela from Canada.Fresh tropical fruit every morning, most plucked from Ingrid’s garden – star fruit today!So many flowers!The road to the beach – no signs, no traffic A farm along the roadside growing cabbages in the shade of pepper plantsWe have the lovely white sand beach all to ourselves The man with the wheelbarrow rakes the seaweed off the beach every morning A person could get used to this We walked by this place, figuring it was an abandoned building. Inside was a little old lady who served us… …the best chicken curry ever!Girls walking home from schoolBoys waiting for a bus – they must live farther awayOur evening swim – the pool has a deep lap area that Jim really likes.Around sunset, a big wind blows through, roaring like a locomotive and bringing five minutes of rain. Then it is over and the calm returns. Ah, the tropics!
