Up at 4:30 AM. Brush, pack, finish loading , walk to the bus.stop. Bus leaves at 5:30 am.The bus is an open bed truck with wood benches and backs and a wooden canopy built to hold 30 people. There were 40 on board. The choice to use a local bus was a good experience but a bad choice. Very fortunately we did not deprive anyone of their needed seat. We were packed in so tight that I know the local girls on both sides of me intimately. We reach the Heron Hotel at 7:30 am (Two hours for 15 miles) One lane road straight up or down, hair pin turns, straight on one side , straight down on the other. Jungle or farms all the way (coconut, banana, bread fruit, orange, grape fruit12 inches in diameter. Got the bags to the room, wet down to write (wrongs). Will shop this PM.
Stella was there to see us off. Mr Williams came with us.
As I set here writing the wrongs, I was left in charge of the keys to the car which needed a tire changed. Can't go shopping until 11:00 am . others felt comfortable with leaving the key with the hotel clerk to get it to Jim. How would Jim know to ask at the desk for the keys.
Jim showed up and took the keys and I went shopping. Guess what! Three T shirts ! Wet shirt contest when I get home. Second trip out --Ear Rings.
Went to Kentucky Fried Chicken for lunch. Strictly American. Back to the hotel, shower shot of rum, took a nap. Going out to a French Restaurant for dinner this evening. Dolphin for dinner. Bordeaux Blanc Wine.
