8 Days on the Rock-Part 3
Posted: Wed Feb 25, 2009 10:02 am
Mon-2/16
Our groups split up again with Paul's group headed to Honeymoon while Harry and I set up camp at the Ocean Grill bar while the ladies did that shopping thing. When we were out of money, wifey brought her 3rd island braclet and one each for the kids, we hiked down to Honeymoon for the afternoon. We gave Paul's group a head start up the Lind Point trail (it was their 1st time) and we all headed for Shipwreck Landing for lunch. After lunch we headed for Trunk
Bay hoping that the cruise people were gone by now and stayed for a great sunset.
On the way we had to stop our Jeep to wait for this little goat that thinks he's a cow get out of the way.
We headed from Trunk to town and stopped at the Lime Inn for Happy Hour and then onto St. John Spice, Ruth and Ron were gone for the day but we grabbed our Cruz bay grill rub and headed back to the villa for the night.
Tues 2/17- Our last Day
Paul's group headed to town to do the St. John Pub crawl, it was Paul's birthday. he's writing his own trip report so you'll have to get this story from him.
We headed out to Salt Pond, we're beach people, Harry said it was his favorite. Salt Pond was like a pool and crystal clear.
The sun was blazin today and after we had enough we headed to Island Blues to sit in the shade and take in our last afternoon with a plate of AWESOME nacho and some drinks.
After leaving Island Blues we headed for Hawksnest for some last beach time, it was very quiet and beautiful. We headed back to the villa and pack for our trip home before enjoying our last night on the deck.
Wed-2/18-The Walk of Woe
We said goodbye to our view, returned our Jeeps to Conrad Sutton's and headed for the ferry dock. We stopped in to say Hi to Ruth and Ron, purchased some stuff at St. John Kids and sat on the curb in front of St. John Spice waiting for the ferry. A Jeep backed up and some one got out and ran by, I hear Paul say "nice license plate" and "thanks" returned.
We stand up to leave and as I look back it say "Y-Worry" on the license plate. Sorry Pia, maybe next time.
Well another enjoyable trip to St. John
Highlights- Boat Trip, Island Blues, Crazy Cracker
Honeymoon& Salt Pond, Seeing Ruth & Ron, meeting St. John Julie, almost meeting Pia and sharing time with friends
Low lights- other than I wouldn't rent this villa or from the villa agency again, nothing.
Hope you all enjoyed this, I'm a construction worker, not a writer
