Day 2 (Oh what a beautiful morning!)
Woke to some clouds which moved off later and the sea looked a bit rough. Kite surfers galore, I think we counted 24. Dh went to grab croissant etc at Good Morning and a couple items at the Casino grocery. Dd enjoyed some cartoons with her yogurt. Around 10:45 am we headed off to Bikini Beach. I had made reservations there a couple days ago and I was glad we did. We were greeted by Geoffrey who is a great guy and is very well travelled and interesting. He took the best care of us. Our ocean side chairs were ready. The cushions are super plush, just what we wanted. Ocean was a bit rough but dd wanted to make sand castles and splash in the shallows so no biggie. We got Tea Punch and a Bahama Mama for the grown ups to start. I brought a little cooler with cold water and apple juice for Dd and no one said a word. I saw others without kids do the same. We ordered tapas, some cod fritters and chicken spring rolls, with Carib beers for lunch. I love the unhurried nature here. I know that probably annoys some but it makes me feel so much more like a guest and not simply a walking wallet. Dd fell asleep in my lap after much play so we had a couple Kir Royale to round out a lovely beach day while she slept. My feet got a bit toasted while that happened but it's all good. We headed back to the condo about 4 pm for a shower before dinner at Le Piment. We ambled over to the Village and were greeted warmly. We started with Kir Royals. We then had Escargot for a shared entree. For plat dh had the beef filet smothered in Reblochon with the utterly divine potatoes. I had the duck confit Parmentier with a layer of melt like butter seared foie gras inside. We again shared a bottle of Côtes du Rhône. Just like in France, the wine prices are killing me! So cheap for such great wine. Dd had a very yummy seared buttery white fish filet with mashed potatoes and chocolate ice cream for dessert. We had banana chocolate crepes and a old rum for shared dessert. Excellent dinner. We lazily strolled back to the condo, tummies blissful, for some more presleep Tom and Jerry cartoons and then zzzz's.
