Grenada, 15th February,
2006
We are off to Trinny
tonight. We had a great Valentines party on the beach
lastnight. The kids played with boomerangs and badminton, and then did a
dance and song show.
We are finally leaving this
lovely island tonight. Our days of scrounging off the True Blue Resort
Hotel are finally coming to an end. The hotel has been really
hospitable. It has been like home for two weeks. No more
rowing ashore for happy hour every evening, having a hot shower after a swim,
using the (brilliant) wifi system, having access to unlimited ice, free
dinghy dock etc etc etc. I would recommend the hotel and it's happy
atmosphere to anyone with $150 US a day to spend.
We have discovered Skype in
a big way, as a few folk know over the last day or two. If you all
download it and get headphones we can speak for FREE!! So come on
everybody, join the party!! Mimi managed to speak to her friend Talia in
Chew Magna for half an hour, but kept saying 'Over' as she is used to chatting
on the VHF radio.......
Otti says: 'I'm not looking
forward to the sail. And I won a hat at the beach party. And I'm now
a qualified SCUBA diver!! '
Mimi says: 'We had a
valentines party yesterday. Otti was going to play monopoly with me but
has now decided not to. I can't wait to go back to school and be taught by
a proper teacher.'
Chris says: 'Looking
forward to seeing my old friend Gerad in Trinidad.
Soph says: 'I hope we
have a good passage with no pirates, and am looking forward to seeing Curtis and
his family in Trinidad'.
Mimi and Otti have a
Valentines Lunch:
We had a day at the seven
falls on Sunday: a really brilliant waterfall!
