Yo ho ho and a bottle of Rum

Well folks, since I last wrote I have been having a life on the ocean waves!
Spent yesterday relaxing on the beach and by the pool..........very hot, was told it was 93deg, so most of the time under a sunshade !
At 5pm last night the hotel laid on a sunset cruise for us all which was really wonderful. Drinks and canapes on a catamaran, bobbing around the coastline, watching flying fish and small dolphins that were swimming alongside the boat.

It was a truly memorable evening and when we were returning to this beach they let off a load of fireworks which looked stunning against the evening sky.

Today we have been out on the ocean again to Bequia, a tiny island with a certain degree of isolation, which has preserved a way of life that has changed little over the years. We had a short tour round the island, ending up at a turtle sanctuary where young Hawksbill turtles are cared for from birth and returned to the ocean when they are 3 years old...........hopefully this conservation will help to increase the numbers of this beautiful animal.

Tonight is our last night in the Caribbean so we are having a farewell dinner altogether to eat and have a few drinks before packing to go home. We travel to the airport in St Vincent tomorrow morning for the short flight to Barbados, then we have to wait a few hours before getting nour flight home to Gatwick.

I have really enjoyed this island-hopping experience and seeing three different islands, but unsure if I would do it again. After my fabulous holiday last year in SA it is going to take something really special to match up to that one.

Thanks to all who have been sending emails to me.............see you all soon in COLD England!!!

Luxurious in St Vincent

This was our last night in Grenada..............ladies who lunch turned quickly into ladies who drink when we got some cocktails in our hands!
We had a really easy journey to St Vincent this morning as we managed to get on a direct flight, and were here well before lunchtime.

Well folks, we are now at the brand-new luxury resort called Buccament Bay, enjoying a secluded location surrounded by lush green mountains on the edge of a white-sand beach. It is 5 star, and the accommodation is in private villas, with everything a woman could ever want.............including a plunge pool in my back garden!

Not at all used to such a posh place, Mick and I never stayed 5star anywhere! Must make the most of it though as we only have 3 days here before we set off home. There are four restaurants here so the biggest decision I have to make each day is..........where do I want to eat!
Tomorrow (Sun, I think!) is a free day to do as we please, and then we are going on a sunset cruise from the beach here.........hope to get some pics for you.
Monday is a morning trip out to Bequia, a tiny island 14km south of St Vincent where we have an island trip and visit to a turtle sanctuary. Not decided about that one yet as I am not too good on boats!!

Well, it's 6pm here, and my inner body clock tells me it is time for a large glass of Sauvignon Blanc!

Hope the weather has improved for you all back home, and that it is warming up now we are into March.
