We haven't been to Pinel in around 8 years and decided to go for a few hours today and then go to Grand Case for a late lunch. Well it's definitely not the way I remember it. The peaceful little island with food available and a souvenir hut. We arrived around 11:30 and the beach was filled with people from one end to the other. Party time. Which was fine as we were just there for a couple of drinks. But on the bright side we went and explored the Atlantic side. We were there a couple of hours exploring the shore line and peaceful too. A few wild donkeys by the mainland dock. Then off to the One Love Shop, I've never spent that much money on a hoodie sweat shirt in my life. But it is really good quality. Then off to Talk of the Town. I had the chicken rib combo and my wife had Shrimp Creole with white rice. My wife's lunch was tasty and I added some Kraft BBQ sauce that was on the table to get some flavor going. A little disappointed after the good reviews I've read. Tomorrow it's off to Maho for another beach walk to Karacter's and then off to Tortuga's for trvia night and then stay for dinner.
