While others went to work on a Monday morning, we started the day with a dive at Green Cay. Well Simone and the guys did. This dive site was called The Playground. Makes a Monday morning sound even more fun!
Then we went to the famous Foxy's and were lucky enough to meet Foxy himself. Foxy's bar and restaurant in Great Harbour on Jost van Dyke is well known for its spectacular new years eve parties. I wish I had my video camera there as Foxy started singing us a song about South Africa when he heard where we're from. He was such a character!
After a bit of shopping in Foxy's clothing and souvenir store we walked over the hill to White Bay while my dad and Colleen sailed the yacht around.
It's a steep hill up...
...and steep downhill again too in the hot sun, but the views were definitely worth the walk. It doesn't take very long to walk there anyway.
We had a drink at the Soggy Dollar bar. Painkillers of course. The Soggy Dollar bar got its name from people swimming from the boats to the beach and getting their dollars soggy during the swim.
We sipped our painkillers on the beach and then went for lunch at the One Love restaurant a little further down the beach.
As its name implies, White Bay has a beautiful white beach and it was lovely swimming there in such clear water.
In the afternoon we sailed on to Norman Island and anchored at The Bight which you can see right at the bottom of the map. We went for drinks on the Willy T (William Thornton), a pirate ship transformed into a bar. Quite a party boat with dangerous drinks. This was where we got our tattoos of which I won't be showing you pictures. Stick on tattoos of course, not real ones ;-)
