This time no awakening with summer, sun, but at least the sea - that would be boring. So today the breakfast table had to be moved under the roof, and despite that we got a few raindrops with the occasional gust of wind - the nice thing is that the rain here is completely warm. And our grandpa from the previous days also seems to be a good weather swimmer, today no trace of him in sight and consequently no cheerful waving from afar. So the weather forecast was actually right and we decide to take a leisurely walk through the capital Victoria. There we visit some well-known shops and stroll leisurely through the streets, where we discover a few nice spots. A visit to the weekly market should of course not be missed.
On the way back we make a little stop at the Takamaka Rum distillery, which we already know from our first trip. But this time we explore the huge grounds around the distillery for the first time and also get to know the two giant tortoises 'Taka' and 'Maka' there - who of them is probably the male or female?
Since in the afternoon the weather god doesn't seem to have much mercy on us either, we explore the island a bit by car. We pass by some beautiful bays, which still have their charm despite the clouds. And we also pass the 'Pig Rock' - can you recognize the pig in the photo? Apparently until today it is not exactly known how this rock formation, which was declared a national monument in 2006, was formed...
We still buy coconuts and pineapples at a fruit stand before we start the journey home. Back home, we make a special friendship (see photo) and end the evening with a delicious dinner...
