Our Second Trip In To The
City
Flushed with a fit of bravery, we
went on our own to the city. This was with the regular hotel bus driver and
instead of the doll in the dodgy flip flops we had three dice as our bus guide.
The four South Africans were also on the bus and they gave us loads of tips
about sailing along their shores. We all split up and we wandered toward the tour bus stop down O’Reilly Street. The
aroma of baking soon made us hungry and Bear chose a little café for a
snack.
Bear was very
pleased with his choice of eatery and was delighted with his omelet for a
pound.
I was very impressed with my cheese
roll, just look at the amount of
filling..........
............OK
then, the waiter laughed when he ‘caught’ me redistributing my cheese,
but very good washed down with local DC
After our bus tour and fort bimble we
went for a romantic Anniversary dinner aboard a permanently fixed restaurant, used by Papa Hemingway
Upstairs, outside in the fairly stiff
breeze we were soon enjoying mojito’s
I was thrilled when a Pilot went zooming past to help a
chum in
Marvelous
Our seafood
platters arrived, I asked for lemon and a whole cup of freshly squeezed
juice came. Lobster tail, fish fillet, rice, crisps and garnish.
Gorgeous.
Sadly it was time to bimble slowly
back for the five thirty bus. There was a massive book
market (Fidel only has to pass wind and a book is written about
him)
Not sure why these bells are on the floor
Ernie’s favourite
hotel
Back at the bus stop sad to say there
are many modern cars here as well as a gamut of Lada’s among
the older ladies.
One story we were told. An American
tourist walked up to a local who was leaning over his car – one of only one
hundred ever built world-wide. The American said that he would pay whatever to
own the car, pay for shipping etc,. The local who had been offered $89,000
recently, smiled and said no thank you. What would he do with the money????,
with no Passport he couldn’t go anywhere and with no opportunity to spend big
wads of dollars, he politely said he would continue to enjoy his car and look
after her very well.
ALL IN ALL A FUN
TIME |
