Pisces 615: Spanish Town, Virgin Gorda, BVIs. Tuesday 26 April 2016.

My 63rd birthday dawned bright and sunny. Took the Road Town Fast ferry over to Anegada, about 20 kms north east of Spanish Town, and checked into the Anegada Reef Hotel. A walk along the beach past the Wonky Dog to Neptune’s Treasure for an early Carib and lime. Hired an open taxi and journey around the west side of the island on the dirt roads to Cow Wreck Bay for a swim, drinks and lunch. Met up with a group celebrating another birthday and played darts and pool in the beach bar (lost). Back to the hotel for a siesta, then a sundowner at the bar and dinner of 2 pound lobster barbecued on the beach and met up with yet another group celebrating a birthday. Lots of messages from family and friends during the day so felt well looked after.

Monday 25 April 2016. Up late and continental breakfast on the beach. Took a shared open taxi the other way around the island with goats and cattle on the dirt and concrete roads. Next stop Loblolly Bay for a great snorkel on the reef, shower, drink in the Big Bamboo and lunch of crab cake salad before going back to the hotel for a rest. Complimentary Smoothy Rum at the bar and back on the ferry to Spanish Town on the afternoon ferry. Great trip.
