I couldn't possibly improve on the advice given by the experts here, so I'll just endorse what they say.
We tried that hill down, and up!! to Little, or Heavenly Bay. It's OK if your'e young ( my teenagers) or fit ( my husband, who cycles 18 miles a day ) and can cope with the heat; preferably all three. None apply to me, being less young than I used to be, and more rotund than I used to be, and less able to cope with the heat than I used to. I am hazarding a guess that you are younger than my 51 years? (I don't care who knows!)
Going down the hill isn't too bad, until you feel that you're going to break into an undignified gallop, but coming up!!!! I'm surprised I'm not still there now, trying to crawl up it...
I would definitely consider getting your own snorkelling kit. None of us had even thought about snorkelling, never having done it before, and I never thought I would, having had a chronically dull and unadventurous youth
The first time was on a trip to No Mans Land, when we borrowed kit, and myself and son couldn't cope with it at all. Daughter and husband took to it like the proverbial fish to water however.
We tried again with kit provided in the house, and managed much better.We never bothered with fins, I suppose it depends on how serious you are.
I remember, I think it was in Parlatuvier, daughter thought she saw a shark, something she has a fear of, though you don't see many around here. She would have given that Australian bloke with size 17 feet something to think about!
By the way, how do you stop yourself scratching your legs on the coral when you are short sighted and can't see where you're going?
Bill is right about the healthy diet. Fruit jumps off the trees at you and you live on barbecued chicken and fresh fish. There was an avocado tree near us with the biggest avocados I have ever seen. Not ripe unfortunately.
When we went to No Mans land the barbeque was an oil drum cut lengthwise with a wire grill, and wood and dried grass etc collected from the beach. Ingenious!
I may eventually compose my diary at home for my own enjoyment, but it may be too much to digest in one lump in one thread. We'll see! Besides, the more posts I make, the more chance I have of reaching "Oh, so sad!"
It's only fair to tell you to it's best to look elsewhere for restaurant reviews( of which there are plenty) as we only ate at Sunday School, Margurites, Cascreole, Englishmans Bay (DON'T
See Out and About, Beaches and Bays) and a couple of rotis from D'Almond tree.We had to watch the budget, you see.
I might do a mini review at some stage. Did I say mini?
That's all folks!
