Cave Man


Dear Friends,
What else can you do when the sun is out, the water pristine clear and thousand shades of blue… yes, of course went to snorkel for a while in Little Bay, Montserrat. The waves make small caves, and just wanted to share those pictures with you…

So much to see, in so little (life) time…
Take care

Walking the Dog, Caribbean style….

 

Dear Friends,

Whilst enjoying an ice cold ‘Presidente’ (beer from the Dominican Republic),sitting on the veranda of the Soca Cabana Restaurant, Little Bay, Montserrat,  I was introduced to a different way of walking the dog….(actually walking other animals as well)..

The dog owners keep the animals on a long leash and have the dogs swimming (tread milling) for say 10-15 minutes… By the looks of it, they(the dogs) are not so fond of this exercise.

So, to follow up, I had Lucky to join me for a swim, and she definitely doesn't like it (yet…).

More swimming for Lucky today…

All the best

Goat Water… Anyone?


Dear Friends,
As promised, herewith my report on this, apparently, Montserrat delicacy: Goat Water…
Yes, it is exactly that: pieces of goat meat, cooked in a pressure cooker, a little (for my liking way too little) seasoning and it was served in a gravy type sauce.. together with some rice…
That was it… nice, but a little bland, the local hot sauce however, that was a nice burner, and so had to wash it down and cool of with a genuine Guiness Beer (from Ireland of course).
I want to thank Kareen at the Soca Cabana Restaurant, right at the beach in Little Bay, who was so kind to prepare this dish for me.

Tomorrow, off to Guadeloupe.. a 40 nm journey… Please stay tuned for updates..
In the  meantime, a great week for all.
Enjoy
