Another beautiful day on Orient. My posts are probably boring as we pretty much are sticking to the same routine since our trip is shorter than normal and we really just wanted beach time. We got to Club around 10:30 to find that the beach had been cleaned of sargassum. It started out very windy but as the day progressed it seemed like the wind died down a bit. It did bring in some sargassum but not bad at all. The beach was more crowded than the day before and Cedric's guys were working to bring out more chairs as a cruise ship I believe the Oasis of the seas was in port until 6pm. There were two full rows of chairs. Wish I could take photos but you know that is a no-no. Looking down the beach towards Mount Vernon you could see the sargassum was heavy. Lunch was again at the Perch and I had fried chicken wings and a salad while my better half had the BLT sandwich I had the day before. Loaded with bacon which he loved! The weather was perfect with no rain and the beach time was great. We wanted to go to Grand Case for dinner and ventured that way only to find we could not find a place to park. The usual lot by Calmos had a lot materials blocking most of the parking spaces...not sure what it all consisted of We traveled down the road to the other parking lot but we did not feel comfortable leaving our car their. No cars in the lot and didn't look like anyone was around. Anyone else park there with no issues? So we headed back to Orient village and had dinner At SAO We had a delicious dinner. I had the cod fish in a spicy Thai broth with vermicelli noodles and hubby had a beef check in a spicy beef broth with rice and a fried egg on top. Both dishes were very good. We topped off dinner with a shared dessert of flamboyant banana and rum with ice cream. Did not get a picture of dessert as the guy with the torch was a bit clumsy and could not get the bananas to light up. There was plenty of rum in there but not the most graceful guy with a torch! Orient village was very quiet. Only 4-5 restaurants were open. I don't think we have ever seen so many restaurants closed in a night. We did here that Maison Mere closed and are now on vacation but the others I believed were just closed for the night. I think a lot of people walking around were a bit disappointed. All in all a great day in paradise!
