Tuesday morning we awoke to a nice day
and met the Kramers
at breakfast as Suzanne
and I
had eggs
with toast
which I adorned with hot sauce
to accompany my tea
before we made our way up and down the local beach
before heading up the stairs
past the interesting tree
to the hotel pool
and our departure for Long Beach where we were greeted with this important
message about Tanice
and a beautiful beach
that the Kramers
and us
were prepared to enjoy in the sand
pictures that were misaimed. While we were walking the beach, a launch
appeared
from this ship
and took some people from the beach
back to the main ship as this couple prepared to snorkel
on the wrong part of the beach and the waves
bounced gently as this sign
gave guidance and I took these Monet-like pictures
of the ocean floor
through the water. As we walked back, some snorkelers began to emerge
and give guidance about snorkeling trails
though we decided to head back through detours to Josiah's Bay Beach.
At Josiah's, we ran into Naomi
who posed for a family picture
and delivered chairs for our relaxation
and later sold us drinks so that Seva
and Suzanne
could audition for the role of mirage lady as we prepared
melted cheese
and nuts
for our snack before Peter
emerged
and slowly
came into view
to describe his journey
on the snorkel boat (with the Hoosiers) to Suzanne
and Seva
before the clouds
and birds and surfers at sea
made us think
about packing
and heading back
to the Tamarind where we wondered if we could have a drink and change clothes.
Peter drank
and Suzanne changed clothes
as I captured Cindy the owner (and kindergarten teacher and former
United flight attendant) with her husband and children
who either worked at the Tamarind or the Dolphin place but had all
found happiness on Tortola. After a picture of me
and me with Seva
and a failed attempt to get the cows
we packed the car
and capture Suzanne
and the two of us
before heading off to Brandywine Bay for dinner. Once there, Peter took a
picture of Suzanne, me and Seva
and we went in to meet Davide the owner
and to admire the table overcloth
as Spice our waiter appeared
and brought us a bottle of wine
that I seemed unable to capture. We toasted the meal
and studied the menu
before digging into the bread
and then starting with soup
homemade mozzarella
mussels
and a Greek salad
for a good beginning. While the others split this pasta
I had the portobello Napoleon
and then we had our main courses of lamb
tagliata
duck
and fettuccine
before finishing the meal with chocolate mousse
and tiramisu
which made us feel that we might keep next year's reservation.
Before departing we had a picture with Davide and Cindy and Spice
in the hotel's kitchen taken by this helper
who couldn't remain incognito once Spice posed with him
but we slept well that night after so good a meal.
