The Number Five - A Trip Report

[JandMinJA]

I fell behind. Oops. A quick catch up while I'm digesting breakfast. Tuesday began a bit late. We ate breakfast, delicious as always but out of salt fish so had to go with an omelet. It's all good. Back to the room to load up the cooler with Stripes. Spent the next few hours laughing and knocking back Stripes in the pool. SH got water logged and left me to continue pruning/baking. Finally called it quits, only because I ran out of Stripes. It was getting hot and I remembered a post about Rum & Raisin ice cream. Off to Charela we went. It starts raining. A LOT! We are no where near Charela. Don't care. We dance in the rain on the beach. Ok, we didn't dance. It was more of a frolic. Ok, so it wasn't really a frolic. Just more of a light hearted jaunt, laughing and sluicing the rain off our faces every few steps. The drops were huge. We see an abandoned umbrella by a picnic table and claim the spot, cracking up at how drenched we are. The rain lets up a bit, so we're walking again. Charela was finally in site. What a beautiful spot they have! The sweetest lady met us as we came in. I apologized for our dripping and asked if they serve rain weary travelers. She had a good chuckle as she showed us to a table. Moments later she was back with the most absorbent dinner napkins I've ever seen. Ahhhh. Our clothes are still dripping but our skin is dry. And here comes the ice cream. SharkHunter went with the Rum & Raisin. I went with peanut. Couldn't resist. It was amazing! Both of them. Enjoyed the view and beach at Charelas for a bit and then headed home for dry clothes.


Is it just me or does that ice cream look... LOL

Lounged around a bit and then decided it was time to try some pizza. I have avoided pizza here for a long time but after seeing so many on the board rave about it, I decided it was time. Lobster Pizza and a shrimp cocktail at BarBBarn. Wow! Why did I wait so long to try that?!?! I may never be able to eat pizza at home again. Enjoyed a beautiful sunset, a few photos of which have already been posted. After that, the rum started flowing. Details are a little hazy, and probably a bit racy for the board. So ended Tuesday, another day in paradise.
