Sorry to hear about your crappy trip home but you're home safe and sound. Hope your hip is on the mend. We also found Longue Beach a tough trek to walk as the sand is very soft to walk on even at waters edge. But still a beautiful place. Today we walked Orient Beach which is like walking on a sidewalk at waters edge. All was going good until we got to the Club O end of the beach and Bernie did an immediate u-turn. Couldn't stop laughing.
