Nothing like your very own beach for an early morning stroll.



. . .and a deck to top-up that tan.

26 Feb 09

An evening out for some local entertainment and a chance to show off our tans.



No street lights, so if you don’t bring your own lamp, you’re likely to end up in the ogin. Brings a whole new meaning to “Show me the way to go home” after a night out.

25 Feb 09 – visit to the Lighthouse

Hitching a ride to the other side, then 101 steps to the highest view around

Downtown Hope Town, a couple of itinerants. . . .



. . . and grossly overcrowded beaches.

21 Feb 09 . . .a visit to Parrot Cay

Today we visit Warren and Annabelle at their hideaway on Parrot Cay. A mere 10 minutes away from Elbow Cay, their hilltop eyrie provides everything you could want. Quiet, seclusion, stunning views, sun and shade, and all the comforts of home.

20 Feb 09 - the local neighbourhood

The local neighbourhood. Ocean view, 6 bedrooms, and a driveway to die for. Eat your heart out Jay! A mere US$12k per week to rent . . .

. . or your own private island perhaps?


The only way to go grocery shopping


and our deck . . .


. . . with a view! This is really what it’s all about.

Hidden haven from the landward side.
