Weather-wise our luck ran out today. Sun went in around 9 am and didn’t return much to not at all . Rain and clouds with heavier surf today. We bid two more friends adieu and then went to Sunset Bar & Grillmid- afternoon. What a disappointment that was. While the outdoor bar appeared open with shutters open and liquor bottles behind serving bar it was not. We had to get a drink at the Refuge bar and were told that they don’t open that bar if no cruise ships are in.



No fun vibe there anymore. After American flew in we left and went to the

Greenhouse – Simpson bay .

Happy hour for drinks 2 for 1 when we arrived. From 4:30 – 7:00 pm drinks and several appetizers are half price until 7:00 pm.

We finally returned to Mark’s Place after 15 years. What the heck took us so long? There were so many items on the menu that you all had suggested so it was difficult choosing. We wished they had an appetizer/smaller portion of the mussels as they looked great but we both wanted fish. We shared a chalk board special – crab balls $6. They were a small fritter balls, very yummy.

I had the Grouper Fillet served with scalloped potatoes, sautéed vegetables, cole slaw and salad. The Grouper was lightly pan fried, moist and incredibly delicious. David had the Salmon steak with lemon sauce. It was a nice big piece of filet and equally as good as my dish. We were stuffed so brought a piece of chocolate cake home. Not sure if the cake is made on site but it was decadent. We met Ricardo the host who was very gracious.
