Mustique

We arrived at Mustique yesterday afternoon. Mustique is a private island with houses of the rich and famous such as Mick Jagger, Shania Twain and Bryan Adams to name a few. Princess Margaret was the first to be given a plot on the island. Apparently the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge spent a holiday there in February this year. While they allow public on the island you are not allowed to photograph any of the residents on the islands or any of the private houses. About half the houses are for rent per week including staff to cater to your needs.

 

We went for cocktails on Mustique yesterday evening, first at Basil's bar right on the water then to Firefly, a 5star boutique hotel up high on a hill. It would have been quite a walk if we didn't get a lift from a friendly passing golf cart belonging to one of the villas. We were the only people in the Firefly bar/ restaurant at that time and enjoyed snapping photos all over, especially of the stunning view.

 

We're now on our way, sailing to Tobago Cays. The guys have the fishing line out hoping to catch us some fresh fish on the way.

 

 

Next day and I can tell you now that they did catch fish yesterday! First a barracuda and then a tuna which Colleen prepared for lunch. It was delicious. So fresh, not an hour after catching it and it was on our plates. Simone, our party planner also organised a surprise early birthday party for Andre. She decorated the boat again, this time with birthday balloons and a banner.

Andre loves the tv show Duck Dynasty so Simone and Dave brought him some gifts from there.

 

Yesterday evening my dad and Colleen organised a special birthday dinner which we had on the beach. One of the locals, Romeo, barbecued fish on the beach for us. It was delicious and there was so much food! Definitely one to remember.

 

This morning after breakfast we're going snorkelling again, hopefully to find some turtles.
