It was quite cloudy when I woke up, but we decided a nice relaxing beach day was in order.

It was actually really nice lying on the sunbeds with a breeze and clouds.

We just went to the beach opposite us for some swimming and sunbathing.

At lunchtime, we came back up to the apartment and made ourselves a cheese omelette. Our bird friends joined us, too.

The tree opposite our apartment is a breadfruit tree. Breadfruit was discovered by the Europeans in the late 1500s. It is a starchy fruit, and when it is roasted, it resembles bread in both texture and aroma.

After lunch, we headed back to the beach with our wine.

The water was quite rough, and the waves were crashing on the rocks. I went swimming, and you could feel the current pulling you back out.

We were all playing with the slo-motion mode on our cameras.

As the sun began to set, we took some more photos as the light was so good.

We also took some nice photos as the sun went down.

We had a reservation at the Fishpot restaurant, which is part of the hotel complex we are staying at. So I decided to go back to the apartment and have a shower – we can only shower 1 at a time as it affects the water pressure. Karen, Mags and Faye stayed to have a cocktail, but it took ages for them to be served, so they gave up.

We all decided to go glam for the night and spent some time getting ourselves ready.

The fishpot restaurant is part of a 17th-century converted fort that sits directly on the beach. It is quite an informal restaurant and the food is delicious. I had crab to start with, followed by seafood broil.

Throughout the evening, we were entertained by a gentleman playing lots of well-known tunes on his guitar.

We had told the manager that we were celebrating Karen and Mags 60th birthdays, so they bought over a little dessert and sang happy birthday.

After dinner, it was back to the balcony for a little nightcap before bed.
