We had a relatively calm night and woke up to a sunny day. With the good weather inviting us back up on deck, I looked for my visor and to my dismay I couldn’t find it. We searched the boat and can only figure that it was on deck and during the course of the last several rainy days and it blew overboard. Darn!
Our plan for today was to explore the northern end of La Digue. So we headed into town and retraced our steps from Saturday just to see if I left my visor somewhere on La Digue. No luck. We also stopped at all the gift stores to look for a new one and again no luck. I have another hat with me so that will have to do.
We stopped at the Italian restaurant (where we had pizza the other day) for a soda, then did a little food shopping. We walked north around the island to see the sights. It was about 2 miles each way.
Rick wanted to walk rather than bike because he thought it was better training for our gorilla trek. Here are some pictures from our walk.
We stopped at a small resort for a light lunch and had this beautiful view.
On the way back we saw a small electric cart and I asked the driver if he would give us a ride back to town. There are no taxis in La Digue, everyone just rents bikes. Unbeknownst to us he was driving a family back to town and they agreed we could join them. They were from Reunion Island and didn’t speak much English.
We got back to town in time to go to the SIM card store. Somehow we have gone through 10GB of data in 12 days. Fear not, we bought another 14 GB so the blog will live on! Our errands done, we returned to the boat where we showered to cool off. I think it will be another night of cold cuts because, although we had a light lunch, we’re not hungry for dinner.
Beautiful coastline. Love the water colors. Rick looks so relaxed, back in his element as sea captain! I have to ask, how was the salmon steak?
