The last two days have been car hire and tour the island days. Things did not start too well as we were wiped out by a reggae bus less than half a mile from the hotel. Police arrived and will decide who was at fault if the insurers can't. At home I would have been blameless, but here, who knows? Interestingly the insurance company send a man to the crash scene. That would be novel at home!
Anyway, after kicking the wing back in place we set off round the South of the island. Maps are a waste of time here so our tour took a long time and we visited some places three times before doing some remote beaches, Gun Hill and Bethesda, a great surfing beach. It was here we ran into policeman 2. He was serving behind the bar at a beach restaurant before driving his mum home!! If the writers of Death in Paradise were looking for somebody to base Dwain on, we just found him!!
Yesterday was calmer. We only got lost once. We visited an old plantation house, St Nicholas Abbey, where they have the last working rum distillery, and then the North point of the island for amazing cliffs and crashing waves.
Came back via the posh part of the island on the West coast. The contrast is amazingly stark. Car now handed back and beach chilling re-instated.
