So with Dan and then Abbie safely
on their way home, there was a mad wash and tidy before we could relax
again. It wasn't all hard work as Amanda
had to get her hair done and so we treated the new hair to a night out, this
was also an early birthday dinner for Amanda.
Paparazzi in the harbour had good food, really nice staff and was a
reasonable price – can’t be bad. We were
also very impressed by lobster that the young guy who runs the water taxi had
caught and sold onto a very jolly Canadian who was having it cooked for his
dinner.

| Wow what a lobster - 6lb 6ounces |
The next day we finally managed a
walk from the bay we were anchored in to Shirley Heights – part of the historic British
fortifications that surround the harbour and also famous for it’s Sunday night
steel bands which we had enjoyed from the boat.
Great walk along the coast, dramatic rocky coastline and dotted with
rock gardens and cactus.

| Friggate bird - we kept seeing these, they are huge and very famous in this area |

We also had a fantastic dolphin encounter in English harbour, a family of 3 bottlenose dolphin where swimming in the harbour whilst we were in the dingy so we were very close to them and they were not bothered at all, other dingies where whizzing around oblivious to the dolphins but we had to stop and try to get them on video - can't publish at moment but will in future.
