Good & Bad Friday
Good & Bad Friday
Crap! It's our last day. What I hate about leaving is that I have to wait a whole year to come back. Unless we win the lottery of course.
It rained this morning so we took our time and went to breakfast at the Donkey Diner. Tara McGregor the waitress there is from our part of the country and a good friend to the daughter of an old workmate of ours. Where you able to follow all that? Nice girl, great breakfast and a pleasant connection.

Headed out to Big Lameshur for the last snorkel. Another good one. Right off the beach we spot a nurse shark under a rock and then two big scrawled filefish. It was a bit murky from the recent rain but the fish spotting was great, angels, rays and then as we get out to Donkey Bight we see a black tipped shark. I saw it, identified it, then tried to get the picture. It turned out toward the murk and I turned to follow trying to get the camera focused. Then it looked like he was beginning to circle around and I said to myself, the heck with it. Actually I was a bit more explicit than that, but you get the idea. Mrs. BillVT declared we return to the beach. So here's a picture of a bucktoothed parrotfish instead.

Returned to town and printed off our boarding passes at Connections. What a nice place and staff. Topped off the jeep and returned to the villa for a desalinizing soak and rehydration. It is the Last Day Buffet this eventing and then tomorrow the Long Day.
