Today, we had planned to spend the day at Pier One in Port St Charles.

We set off mid-morning and walked from ours to Port St Charles as it’s only a 10 minute walk.

The sand and sea looked gorgeous, just like a picture postcard.

We wandered down the pier, but unfortunately, when we got there, they said they were fully booked. A lovely lady showed us around the area, and we booked it for Wednesday instead.

We decided we would find a spot on the local beach as we had all our beach stuff with us.

I did some snorkelling around the rocks. There were quite a log of fish, dome I don’t think I’ve seen before. I was going to film them but my go-pro froze again.

I definitely saw a few varieties of parrot and angel fish as well as blue tang, sergeant major, wrasse, sand tilefish, and possibly others too.

We had a lovely time in the water and sunbathing.

There were quite a few local families on the beach and a few chickens as well.

Early afternoon, we made our way into Six Mens for some lunch, back at Joan’s Snackette. They don’t normally serve food on a Sunday, but she offered to make us some burgers. They were absolutely delicious.

On the way back to the apartment, I made a new friend.

We had showers and got ready to go out as we were heading into Holetown for a karaoke night. We had been told to get there for 6pm as it got really busy. We stood at the bus stop, and the manager from the restaurant opposite suggested we walk to another bus stop down the road as more buses went past the one. It was just a short walk, and as we waited at this second bus stop, a guy offered to give us a lift into Speightstown as we had more chance of getting a bus from there on a Sunday. The guy’s name was Ryan, and he worked for the Ministry of Agriculture.

Just as we walked up to the bus terminal in Speightstown, our bus was pulling out. We quickly jumped on it and headed into Holetown.

In Holetown, we had a wander through the town. As it was a Sunday, all the shops were shut, but it was nice to see what was around. It was also a full moon.

We walked down to the beach and sat at one of the bars, Surfside, for a drink as the sun went down.

Karen and Mags had a delicious cocktail.

There didn’t seem to be much going on, so we headed back into town for something to eat. A lot of places were booked up, but there was an Indian restaurant, Sitar, that had a table. They actually had a private room for us.

The food was very tasty. After dinner, we walked back down 2nd street, and things had started to get busier. People were on the street, milling around and drinking, and some people were singing. One of the guys from the local bars near us, Dan,was also there, and he came and said hello. He is a bit of a character and can be quite intense.

But by now we were full and tired so we got a taxi back home.

Our taxi driver, Steven, was very chatty, and he gave us all a big hug when we got out.

As we sat on the balcony, drinking a cup of tea, it poured down – we were so glad we were indoors and not stood on the street in Holetown.
