Heron Hotel Kingstown

... so that we could see into the volcano crater and take photos………but ……nothing. It was too cold to wait motionless for long – so it was time to retrace our steps back to the minibus for a celebratory rum punch! Fun!

That cloud heralded our only run of bad weather…..and boy, does it know how to rain in the Caribbean!......so, many crosswords and sudokus later, it was off to the airport for our flight to Barbados!

... plane, Sunday no ferry and not advisable to swim with a couple of suitcases and everyone starts talking about "tricky waters" - sounded like a blues/soul singer. Only option - get a small fishing boat to take you across. Oh yeah?! Weather forecast - tropical storms imminent. Oh yeah?!
Zoot arrived at the jetty near Basil's Bar in his 15-20 foot boat - very narrow...."No worry, Man - I give you good ride" he assured us as we chugged out of ...

... the mosquito. As you are aware, mosquitoes feed at dawn and dusk - but not these Mustique mosy socialites - they're happy to invite you for a bite anytime. We have the most wonderful toy in the house - it's an electric tennis racket contraption...you press the button and the "strings" become electrified and as you waft the raquet through the air there is the most satisfying "zap" as they are exterminated ...

... the old 60's dittie 'I'm a Stool Watcher' ("here comes one now, da dah da dah"). Anyone need a life besides me? Then the bad news comes. The boat isn't going tomorrow, and the next day... well, who knows? How can you really predict these things? I'm ******, and I'm not even British... or drunk. Turns out the boat isn't even the problem; it's the road, a twenty-five mile stretch of pea gravel and sweat, a monument to uncertain ambitions and inherent ...

... ta kur liko gidas ir 4 auksciau nei oficialiai internete. Gal cia net visiskai nauaj virsune? Kelios nuotraukos ir suku atgal... 7. Atgal lengviau  nes leidziantis zoles galiam is auksciau priminti ir prie kraterio ten kur vis dar laukai zmona buname praejus 5.5 val ir jau saulei leidziantis...Prie masinos griztame visiskoje tamsoje 7 vakaro.

... in strong winds and hot sun. We took fourth (missing third by 17 seconds). We left Bequia the next day. Destination: L'Ance Guyac on Canouan Island. We just spent the night here anchored next to two boats - one with a helicopter on its stern and another with the unfortunate name of "Hooter Patrol IV". The most distressing aspect of that name is that there are/were three others with like names. We took off the next morning for Salt Whistle Bay on the island of Mayreau ...

... to Prime Minister Sir James Mitchell and still owned by his family, this appealing property centers on a building that resembles a New England whaler's home with its cedar shake and pale blue shutters. Not only is "The Frangi" one of the most popular hangouts for travelers, it is also highly regarded as the place to be by the locals, giving it a uniquely blended, homey personality. The cabanas on the hill are ...

... would, for free' 'well your wrong' said she 'no space on the plane, now get out of the queue' After trying the puppy dog eyes, the pout and finally the all out sulk (none of which worked -she was truly a women of stone) I convinced her that my dad was on the committee of the Civil Aviation Authority and would soon hear of this. She called her manager and they decided to charge me $69US to carry it to St. Vincent- a 40minute flight! They then promptly lost the board ...

... who was also Basils (he of Basils Bar) girlfriend. So because of this we were afforded a brief glimpse into Mustique life. Dianna said it was a shame we hadn't arrived a day sooner, because her close friend who is chairman of the Mustique Conservation Committee flew out the day we arrived and was curious about the work we were doing, and may have liked to meet us. Said friend was Mick Jagger-that almost got me, he's a personal hero of mine, probably best we didn't meet ...

... waving and shouting out as you pass by.We went up to the top of the island,along a very narrow road[if you could call it that] and were rewarded by fantastic views all around,we could see petite martinique nearby and sandy island further away.What a great day ,we boarded the osprey and headed towards grenada,nodding off to sleep now and again,it,s surprising how a hard day lazing around can make you so sleepy!!!
