I'm thinking it should be 8pm to 6am? That's what it is.

I wish I could be more patient too, though I am becoming more leery of our upcoming trip. In the back of my mind, I can handle making our main meal lunch, as many great restaurants also serve lunch. As for the greatest ones (L'Auberge, Bistrot Caraibbes), well, we'll just have to do early bird dining. I have a bad case of cabin fever, and just need to get away. We've already cancelled 3 trips during the pandemic, and I'd hate to do a 4th.

Pelican--I would think that the uptick in cases is from locals, not tourists, as the level of vaccination on the island is fairly low. If people on island WANT to be vaccinated they can, but a lot of locals are very vaccine resistant.

Some say they are but aren't.

You would have never known there was a shut down at 8pm last night. People were coming and going in the village very late. Cars were still arriving after 10pm. 8 oclock curfew doesn't start till tomorrow night Sunday.

And be sure there will be Gendarmes out and about. Wish they would send them to the Dutch side.

Never said that, nothing to do with checkpoints. But breaking up the lawbreakers would be welcome.

Here.now. Just got back to our villa after dinner at Ocean82. The locals are pissed. They believe this is the government’s response to not enough residents getting vaccinated. They correctly point out that shortening the hours for dinner will result in larger crowds crammed into restaurants during the limited hours that they are open. Does this make any sense? We are flying home tomorrow. I expect that there will be protests with road blockages in the days ahead. No government can successfully force their will on people who love freedom of choice and are reluctant to accept everything the government wants to force upon them.
