Hettie & Chad December 2011 Trip Report

[Hettie]

On our way back through town we stop to buy some fruit from the fruit vendor stands up the hill just on the Sav side of the roundabout. They have a great selection and we picked up some honey bananas, limes, and a soursop. Neither of us had tried the honey bananas before and WOW...they are just incredible, couldn't stop eating them. We headed back up to the cliffs and stopped by Banmark where everyone was hot and tired and moving as little as possible to try to stay cool. Seemed like a good plan to us, so we picked up some food from Rody's and went back to Citronella to relax. It looked like it might rain and it was one of those days when an afternoon shower is welcome to cool things off and provide an excuse to lounge around and take a nap, but it never happened. It was so dry!!!! We didn't have any rain in 12 days, couldn't believe it. We still had a lazy afternoon, read a bit and lounged in the hammock.

We can't seem to get enough Canoe, so went back down there for dinner. I had the grilled butterfish and loved it. Chad wasn't very hungry, so he just had a snapper skewer. We hung out and chatted with Kirby awhile before heading back up to Citronella for our sunset ritual. What an amazing sunset, one of those that changes completely every few seconds. These photos don't even look like they're from the same evening.



Another chill evening, just as we like it.
