We were booked on a half day tour with a group from Cruise Critic. Richard Deane is legendary for offering private excursions here and we were privileged to find two spots on this afternoons’ tour! There was 19 in our group and another couple had booked independently. So our group of 21 was shuttled around the island in three 4x4 trucks each seating 4 guests and one additional truck that seated 4 inside the truck, and 5 more in the covered back of the truck.
The second viewpoint that we stopped at was where Survivor was filmed.
In our vehicle we travelled with a couple from Sarnia Ontario and we used to live there so it was fun to talk about all the people we knew in common! J plans to hike the mountain tomorrow with M from Sarnia!
Richard Deane stopped at about 4 viewpoints as we travelled to the other side of the island. The roads were narrow and curvy - not unlike Norway where they would be single lane at points. Our driver was Maeva- Richard’s wife. Again, my French came in handy to translate!!
I had attended Nick Glakas’s tslk this morning and was excited to pull into port! We arrived in port just after 11 am. Our tour began at 1 pm and lasted until 5 pm.
There were some beautiful catamarans in the Bay here. When I asked Richard about these boats, he said they don’t belong to local people. Sailors stop here while enroute from Panama Canal to Australia or New Zealand.
After a swim to cool down after our hot island tour we enjoyed supper st Toscana. Too much food!!
As we are staying overnight there, J went to try to view the stars from land as the ship casts too much light! He was the only person on the tender both ways! Still too much light to view the stars from on land!!
Life is good!!
