Day16
We travelled to Saba on the Edge ferry out of Simpson Bay. We chose an outside seat on the ferry and had an uneventful ride over to the island. Once there, we caught a taxi which, along with a group of others, dropped us off before the long climb up to Mt Scenery. We got to know our group along the way and had a fun time climbing up to the highest point (pictures hopefully to follow! ). We reached the summit and there were clouds all around us, so we took a few pictures, enjoyed the cool breeze, and made our way back down the slope. We stopped at the Ecolodge on the way down for water and thought about how much fun it would be to spend the night. Once back to our spot where the taxi would take us back, we walked around the town (forgot the name, sorry), and enjoyed being back on flat ground. I have to say, the hike was not for the weak of heart, I did okay on the way up as I am a runner, but Mike had to stop frequently. However, on the way back down, my knees were really starting to feel it! The ride back to Simpson Bay was CRAZY to say the least. They said it was exceptionally bad that day. Thank God neither one of us get seasick, we actually thought it was a fun ride, but others did get sick.
Thanks to day 16, day 17 was a fully relaxed day at Club O on the beach with very little movement between our chairs and the ocean! We really enjoyed the day! Thursday night, we went to Cugini in Marigot (thanks Dave and Adrianna for the reservation! ). We had a fantastic Italian meal and enjoyed the music and vendors <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
Day 18
We spent the day traveling and started by hiking on the little islands off of Coralita. We went to the Ma Dou Dou factory after that and bought several bottles of rum to take home! After that, we went to Baie Rouge for lunch (Good food at Chez Raymond,verrrrry slow service). Mike got in the water, but I wasn't as brave. We went on to Cupecoy and after we got there and spent sone time, I couldn't believe we had missed this place before! I think it will be cone our new favorite place <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Clapping.gif" alt="" />
Today, we decided to stay close to home and are spending the day at Grand Case. I am writing this at Calmos as we speak and we had a great lunch of tapas including goat cheese mousse, and chicken and shrimp satay. Tomorrow is Tiko Tiko and then Laylas to meet friends <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
