Today was our 2nd to last full day on island. Another great day!
Wow its amazing how quickly the week flew by vs. a typical work week back at home. Well we got up and had breakfast at the villa. It was my turn to cook, so I made eggs benedict. I wound up packing the Knor packets of hollandaise sauce which made it very easy to make.
While we were eating we realized we were only to 2 beaches so far and we should probably hit at least one more. We decided to go to Maho since its an easy beach to get to. We took the jeep down Centerline Road towards Coral Bay and found a dumpster to throw our garbage away in - several bags worth and headed up the North Shore Road. We made it to Maho Bay in about 20 min. or so. We found a nice spot to set up and grabbed our snorkel gear. As soon as we were in the water, I saw a turtle peak up out of the water so I swam over to him. I thought the water was a bit murky but was still able to see some fish and a stingray.
When we decided we had enough we headed back towards Coral Bay. Our friends wanted to stop at Skinny’s to grab a few t-shirts and a beer. I wanted to go to Aqua Bistro since it is usually closed when we go to St. John and they were finally open. We figured we would grab a beer at Skinny’s and then head over to Aqua Bistro.
The no see um's there were relentless at Aqua Bistro
BUT their fried grouper sandwich was awesome:
And the Bushwacker was even better!
After a late lunch we headed back to the villa. Everyone relaxed and then got ready for dinner. Being that we were going to have Ted from Ted’s Supper Club cook us dinner for our last night we wanted to go into town. Our friends really like the Waterfront Bistro so that’s where we wound up at.
The service was very attentive, but for those prices, I thought the food should have been better. It was good, but not great.
Wahoo Fish special:
When we were done with dinner we stopped at the “casino” because the guys wanted to play a games of black jack. Shockingly no one won anything so we had a drink at the Rum Hut.
As it got later we were all getting tired. We headed back to the villa. When we got out of the jeep, our friend Lori nearly lost it. She’s deathly afraid of spiders and there was on the passenger side door where she was sitting. At least it was on the outside. Funny, it reminded me of our friend that was a stow-away in our jeep rental a few years back.
After that - it was time for bed.
Our last full day coming up ‘Day 8’.
