Our first walk to Hillsborough along the beach and through the mangroves

Paradise beach bar, in the background Sandy island

























Some random pics

goats, sheep and cows are everywhere on this island; here some goats trying to find some grass 
JP, the French owner of Frogs bar was so kind to let us watch the quarter final champion league final Paris Saint Germain against Bayern; we were the only guests, only later we realised that usually, at the time we watched the game, his bar is closed; we were very thankful and could therefor live with the fact that Bayern lost 
this guy visited our solar panels 

our first “Sip and Paint” 
it was Marieke’s and Ron’s second visit, so their sign was almost finished 
the musicians preparing for an evening gig 
on our way back this little girl was waving when we were passing the school area 
another amazing sunset 

the view looking south from tyrrel bay marina 
and looking north 
here some pics of Hillsborough town…

the locals often use the containers as storages 

we met Nick and the Crew of Carina for a drink in Hillsborough at the Mermaid
A walk to the other side of the island to Cassada Bay

the little island in the back with the peak is White island, left next to it Saline island 
here the view to Tyrrel Bay 
a palm tree trunk with a huge cut off at the foot 
goats everywhere… 
different vegetation next to the beach 

a typical mini mart 
looks small but sounds big to me 😊 
a little cemetery 
strange things one can find here at the roadside 

and finally a coffee at frogs 
a beautiful sea-star at the beach of Tyrrel bay
Some more random pics

a pretty nice evening, view from Gallery bar 
heading back to Hillsborough from our snorkelling tour 
the boooys 
and very cool Dan? 
sitting at Tanty Mavis Eaterty and Bar and watching the locals playing cricket and the cow joining 👍 
Lobster time 
that was a dinghy ride into the mangroves in Tyrrel bay to check out the lagoon as a potential hurricane hole 
some left overs from the last hurricane ?? 

we towed this guy back to his boat he run out of petrol, he also asked us if we could give him some petrol so he can go back ashore 

not far away from the ship wreck at Hillsborough bay 

we had a stop for lunch here at Ann’s eating Delight, a pretty little restaurant with a great view 
only sip no paint anymore 
Rufu’s shed , he provides vegetable and fruits 

Gallery cafe 
and visitors 
While cleaning up the beach area we also planted seeds to remove hopefully in a couple of years the poisoning manchineel tree; the toxic tree with its roots stabilises the beach
so it is necessary to plant new not toxic ones, though I can’t remember the name of the new tree
I very much doubt that in this sandy gravel a seed is willing to grow 
these are the seeds we planted 


we won the bottle of wine and Marieke and Ron the mugs 
proud clean up guys
