Monday, cause that's my fun day!

Monday was upon us fast! Tempus Fugit when you are having fun.....It was another hot and calm day on the Caribbean side so we decided to go and see what the Atlantic looked like. We packed up our snorkel gear after a leisurely morning and headed south on the Queen's Highway, totally comfortable in our surroundings and feeling adventurous. We tried a couple of dirt road turnoffs and took a peek, some places looked too rocky for water entrance, some were kinda spooky and then we found our perfect spot! Just south of Windemere Island. Little rocky but not too hard to get in water and luckily the Atlantic was calm. We were quite thrilled with what we found! The raised up, puffy starfish - dead of course. We didn't go too far out - we all know our limits and have watched way too much "shark week", consequently didn't go 'round the big reef! I got a bit chilled after it got a little cloudy and rained on us, so I wandered up the beach for a stroll and warm up whilst Kara and Hope continued. I returned to find them holding up their goodies from the water! Huge conch shells and sea biscuits! Warmed from the sun I ventured back in the water for some searching:)

We finally drug our pruned bodies out and up the hill back to the car. We got back home and had a Kalik on the deck admiring our view for one last evening. We readied ourselves for our last meal out at Tippy's.

We found Tippy's no prob....We were fairly early so there was hardly anyone there (snorkeling makes you really hungry!). We sat at the bar and had a beer at looked at the beautiful view of the Atlantic. We were seated quickly and I promptly decided on the fish and chips, thinking the grouper was by far the best choice for me on fish. We also decided to try their conch fritters. Fritters were not as good as GH Fish Fry, the chips were excellent and the battered grouper was so-so - was a bit more like minced fish instead of the fat, juicy battered grouper I had at Sunset Inn. We had a pineapple dessert thingy, was good - that's all I remember. Prices in my opinion are quite high on the island in general. Three meals with one appetizer and one dessert for $99 is more than we spend at a very nice restaurant in VA. The automatic 15% added gratuity can get to you sometimes when the service isn't "all that." Nice tourist piccie of us on the deck was all we need to top it off! Back home to pack and gather our S**t! We definitely felt like we could stay for awhile longer.
