Exploring Anguilla in our hire
car Day 2
We had noticed this lovely, simply
designed yet fresh looking church yesterday at a distance, today we came to
photo St Gerard's Roman Catholic Church
Not sure what this
miniature next door is, but beyond that is the Presbytery, the former Wallblake
House. Many years ago this house belonged to a planter.
I so love Mack
trucks, they growl. This one is emblazoned with a boxer
dog. The only tyre with tread is the front right the rest are as bald as
a coots
Berger Paints we are pleased to report are fit and well.
This house in bright sun hurt our eyes
We found a better
site to see the girl, she is furthest on the
left
A better picture of
Road Bay showing the size of the salt ponds
behind
Next we went in
search for The Malliouhana Hotel and Spa, another
tick in the 1000 Places book, another truly beautiful hotel on a stunning beach,
the name was the islands original name
This family stand guard at the gates of the Turtles Nest
Hotel and Villa Complex
I love these tall
structures...................................................
A Methodist Church in one of the villages. We saw this very
school uniform in St Thomas, fine on small people,
but sixth form young men in pink shirts and maroon
trousers???
This is Gorgeous Scilly Cay, the little island in the middle of
Scilly Cay. Sadly closed on a Tuesday, our next tick in the 1000 Places
book
We sat and just
looked at the amazing colours of the water
Then we came upon
the tiny Museum of Anguilla
The Curator gave us
a short overview of the collections, told us in the hurricane of 1995 this building only had its roof
showing, then let us mooch at our own speed
One whole room was
dedicated to freedom, the revolution and the arrival of the
British Troops
On the back right
wall, I particularly liked this
photo
We left this very interesting little walk back through time, time in
fact to head back to Shoal Bay to have lunch and snorkel
The snorkeling may
have been OK, nothing compared to Culebra or The Indians but the island has
left a permanent memory. A pretty fading of
light, rather than a loud sunset
ALL IN ALL WE SO HOPE TO
RETURN ONE DAY TO THIS GLORIOUS LITTLE PARADISE
