Enjoying the pictures of the West End! Harry, try turning right out of Catcha and take a little walk. If you're not interested in Rick's, keep walking right on by. Be sure to stop at Sir D's for a drink. The view from there is so amazing, and there's a young artist who sells prints there, very interesting to talk to. Also on that section of road is the old lighthouse, the LTU Pub, Out of Town Bakery (great patties!). We didn't go past the bakery, but it was a nice mid-day walk, and then that evening we turned left out of Catcha and walked as far as Xtabi. I want to walk all the way to the beach area, but there's one section when you're driving that looks like maybe cliff on one side and a concrete wall on the other side of the street, not leaving much of a safe passage for pedestrians, though I know people do walk it all the time. Maybe I'll just go for it next time and if I hit a spot that looks like the *scary place*, I'll check it out, maybe it's not so scary when you're walking as it looks like it would be when in the car. Anyway yes, turn right out of Catcha- several places you can walk to. Sir D's is definitely my favorite, walking that way. That view... *sigh*...
Oh, and speaking about worrying about things being stolen while you're out of your room... we stayed at Catcha and one day mid-stay I decided I wanted to wear a fused glass pendant I had made. I went to my suitcase and looked for my little jewelry bag (nothing of great value, all handmade stuff) I couldn't find the bag. I looked in the safe, I looked in the bathroom, the drawers, I looked everywhere. No bag of jewelry. Mind you, this was not valuable stuff to anybody but me- all things I had made. I couldn't believe anybody from housekeeping would have walked into our room and picked that little bag of jewelry to steal- would they??? I thought it must have been stolen by TSA or an airline employee. No, I was certain I had it in my carryon. Maybe I left it out of the bag at home? So odd. I fretted about that for a couple of days, just thinking in the back of my mind about what could have happened to it. Finally, on the last day of our stay, I was packing stuff up to go, and grabbed the large Tervis mug sitting on the counter- we hadn't used it the entire trip. It weighed oddly heavy. I took the cap off, and there was the bag of jewelry, right where I had stuck it to consolidate and save space. What a dork.![]()
BaileysMom, yes it is a very nice spot
