Sorry no update yesterday- got back late, so hopefully double dose today, but just had a storm that knocked out all electricity in Antigua and I lost the post I was creating. So trying again.
Pancakes coffee and juice for breakfast again today. Then met our guide, Lewis (Bruce) Lee, who took us on a took mus on a tour of the city. Made our way to a vantage point where we could look out over the maze of streets to the volcanos beyond. Back down the hill and into the dusty streets. Visited a jade factory where Neil tried to find a present for Sue, but only got himself some cufflinks!
The city is manic. Cars, scooters, chicken buses everywhere. Riders never wear crash helmets, but are seen carrying children and/or chickens under their arms as they drive. Strat dogs everywhere.
Went to plaza for evening meal, but disappointed as we had expected street vendors and music. Nevertheless, found a nice basic cafe and had a good meal. Others had Burger King! What are we here for?
Anthony provided todays best entertainment. Chuffed to have bartered a street vendor down from $30 down to $10 for a flute, beads and a purse. Within seconds some of the beads came off. Then the bead purse leaked dye onto his hands. Finally the deet he sprayed on the flute took the stain off and on to his face. He tried hard to play it, but no success. Thought he had done it, but it was Simon blowing across the spout of his water bottle.
