At one point we noticed one of the little dogs next door trying to be taller.
Saturday we did a 6 km. walk to the Casabari Rock Formation.
There is a nice garden at the base of the rocks.
There are a couple of routes to the fenced area at the top. Naturally we took the most complicated route.
There are good views of the area around the rocks.
We had a drink at the Casabari Cafe which was just opening at 10.
On the way back to the apartment we had to stop at Baskin-Robbins for another milkshake. While there a couple from near Winnipeg chatted with us.
On Sunday we went to the bird sanctuary. We could see the viewing platform across the water. We checked at a hotel concierge who told us the road was across from the windmill. From the tower we could see the egrets back towards the hotels. There were a few black ducks with red spots on their heads.
We returned to the hotel and had some expensive drinks and pastries. We did get to enjoy some 'wildlife' on the patio.
Monday, we decided to see where the cars and school kids come from up the hill. The road goes up over the hill and down towards the sea. The pavement ends after a couple of houses but a packed road goes down the hill to some more houses. Then we walked past a school and followed a well used path north to the main east-west road.
Tuesday, we caught the bus to Arashi Beach, the northernmost bus stop.
From there we walked around the northwest corner of the island. There is bit more surf here than the beach area to the south. Along the coral ledge we saw some pelicans fishing
shell fossils
a few crabs and a dead eel.
The end of our walk along the coast was the rocks on Westpunt.
From there to the lighthouse where we had a nice lunch at the Terrace Cafe. Then down the back stairs to Arashi Beach. We caught the bus back to the hotels on Palm Beach, then walked back to the apartment. There we chatted with our neighbor, a young grandmother from Grand Prairie.
On Thursday we fly to Newark. Friday morning we fly to Phoenix where we pick up our truck and head back to the trailer in Tucson.
