These droplets of rain on our window told the story of the next day (and the ones after that)
even as we looked out at the building which housed the Kramers
and the scenery beyond which was the road to the beach (where even 6 wheel drive could not bring us back).
Suzanne had her breakfast
and we checked out the views
by the swimming pool
as I had my coffee and reading
and we admired the setting we were in
complete with views down to Zoni Beach
before starting our walk down to the beach which was as beautiful as the pictures show
though the weather did not make it attractive to do more than wade
and leave foot prints
even as we learned about the local turtles.
Behind the beach was this scenery which was deeply affected by the weather conditions
ad we made our way down the beach
and I peeked behind the beach into the jungle
where lovely little ants were doing their thing
before we made our way back to the parking area
and past the various garbage and recycling receptacles
and back to the lot across from ours where Mr. Erler was building his house
which would be the envy of our car
with its license plate.
Once down the stairs
we were in the house but gathering to depart once more as I determined that with flash
and without, the glass didn't quite let me join the picture.
On our journey to explore the island, we came across the fruit stand, this being Friday and so the day for fresh fruit. For some reason, my camera did not enjoy this picture and indeed, this was the last picture I was permitted for quite some time as the camera first entered a mode where it told me to turn it off and on and then starting grinding gears and finally had trouble focusing. As a result there are limitations to what follows though it all ends happily.
Indeed, after Flamenco Beach and Melones and a trip to the top of the mountain (such as it was) and Jolly Rogers restaurant, we made our way home and the camera permitted a few photos of our room
and then we came across Peter deeply in a trance about MazeCube
before we had hors d'ouveres
and drinks
that brought Seva
Suzanne
and me
back to life for the journey to Susie's restaurant
where this was the menu
which engaged Suzanne
Seva
and Peter
but not me
as the bushwhackers came
with the unusual glass of wine
and the appetizers
and waters
and main courses which could only work if they had lots of crunchy things on top
|
as elegantly prepared by Susie who may have some difficulties ahead since we were the only people in the restaurant and were not inspired to make a return visit.
Back at the house, Seva and I played a game of scrabble which ended with this board.
