Three ami(goes) to Providencia!

Well the hectic part of our trip is now nearly over and it's time to retire to our Caribbean hideaway for 10
nights. 

Once again we've been exploring the city and thankfully have not stepped in a cathedral or museum!  As you will see from the photograph, we have been practising for our role in the Royal Wedding procession!  Our free trip last night around the old town was lovely especially seeing all the buildings light up around us.

As it's been so hot, we've had afternoon siestas and really made the most of them despite the building work going on around us.  Today they were painting  outside our window and when HJ opened the door, she found a man on a set of step ladders right outside.  But despite all his,  we've ordered a Sainbsury's delivery over the internet for our first day back, applied for tickets for the Olympics, loaded the kindle with lots of books and HJ has hopefully arranged a hair appointment via a v kind friend.  Talking of the Kindle, RM has taken advantage of 14 days free trial of the Daily Telegraph to amuse him whilst he's soaking up the rays.  HJ did want to order the FT but RMs choice won!  No Daily Mail rag for us!

Tonight's choice of restaurant was heavily influenced by last night's meal when we enjoyed sea bass cerviche.  We have really taken to cerviche as it is light, simple and summery and there are lots of variations.  Be warned, anyone visiting in the next few months, may well find a version awaiting them.  We found that the chef was actually Italian and so are returning tonight for pasta.  The service was also exellent as fhe waiter disappeared down the road and brought back a bottle of our favorite SB as he had run out!

So finally, hopefully we will be able to post photographs of our last destination in the next few days!  If not, we will see you very soon.

  1. Arguing for the FT over the Telegraph and the DM gets you 100 points HJ - far more than a steam train picture ever could. I'm very proud of you! Ever troublesome GB.

  2. Dear ETGB, I am glad you are following so avidly, I was hoping to attract a better class of reader (just like the FT).
