Larry was excited to see if we could repeat
the awesome snorkel experience from yesterday.
Shortly after coffee, we were exploring the nearby reef/rocks. The smile on Larry’s face told me he enjoyed
himself just as much … if not more!
He’s loving this and getting so much better at holding his breath,
snorkeling to the depths and taking some really cool pictures. He’s my little fish!
After snorkeling, we dinghied to the hotel
and used their dock to tie up our dinghy.
No on in the hotel spoke a word of English but we were able to
communicate that we were trying to get WiFi.
They said we’d have to buy a card from the office. Damn … this town is really stingy with their
internet access. We’ve only found one
place so far that has “free” internet and it’s that restaurant where we had
lunch with John/Nancy … free internet but expensive enough meals.
From the hotel, we hiked across the island
(up and down hills of course!). There is
supposed to be a nude beach so obviously, we wanted to check it out! Nope, no nudity. There were only 5 people on the beach and they all wore
swimsuits. Sorry, no porno pics today …
oh well … it was a beautiful beach and well worth the walk.
From there we walked back up the hill and off
towards another larger hill. It was a
recommended hike in our guidebook. The
path lead to a large cross we could see from the bay. Leading up to it were stone placards depicting the Stations of
the Cross. It reminded me of a smaller
scale version of the Hermitage we saw at Cat Island, Bahamas. From the top of the hill, the views towards
the bay were breathtaking. Awesome walk
… awesome views.
Back on Soulmatie, we decided we would
move. We weren’t happy with our anchor
and were afraid we’d drag again if the winds pick up like last night. We decided to go to Ilet a Cabrit (an island
just offshore, between town and where we were currently anchored). We knew they had moorings there and for $11
EU/night, it was worth the sanity of knowing we weren’t going to drag!
