Wildlife….

Our meal last night was taken in the restaurant at the end of the bay, deep into the mangroves and this is part of their problem. The food was excellent and they were the only bar so far to serve a passable ale. BUT, we were bitten alive!

We all had a good lie in, listening for movement, reluctant to be the first to break the silence.

Connected to shore power we enjoyed toast for breakfast and avidly followed the rugby tweets. We adjourned to the beach (via the ferry) where we had an ethnic lunch and relaxed and swam.

This Marigot Bay destination is absolutely magical and seems to even draw cruise ship clients who are ā€˜bussed inā€™ to spend an hour or two on the beach. The wildlife is interesting as well.

We were determined to enjoy more of the ale and thought we had timed our return visit to coincide with ā€˜happy hourā€™ and to precede the insects. In the event, I think we failed on both counts.

Following a recommendation and suffering withdrawal, we decided to indulge in an Indian meal and will report back on this!
