Saturday morning we took a little walk up the road. We were contemplating a trip at New Years and wanted to take a look at a couple of properties. So many places are already booked for that time of year and many of what are available are in another price league. Both Coral Seas Gardens and Pure Garden Resort had rooms available so we wanted to take a look. Both properties were just a short walk.

Coral Seas Gardens looked ok and had a large pool, but despite advertising restaurant and bar we were told that neither were operating any longer and you must go to Coral Seas Beach Resort for the restaurant.

Pure Gardens Resort did have an operating restaurant and bar tucked away at the back of the property which all looked pretty nice.

Walking back to our hotel we stopped and chatted with Dave. He had a little roadside stand along the side of the road. Walking by his stand before he had simply offered us a "Good Morning". He had something cooking on a grill and I was curious but nothing was ready yet and he tempted me with a jelly coconut instead.
