We hired a car for 3 days (S has ants in his pants and can't sit still!), so on Tuesday we headed off around lunchtime and headed off to Holetown for a quick bite to eat before setting off to tour the east coast. Of course, there were shops with beautiful shiny things in them...so it took us a couple of hours to have something to eat in between trying on watches (him) and necklaces (me). My birthday present was procured too. I love the necklace and Stephen is thanking his lucky stars that I didn't pick something more expensive!!
We got to North Point fairly late in the afternoon, so "the sun was in the wrong place" as usually happens with us! We got some okay shots, but decided to call it a day and come back in the morning. As usual we had a petite difficulty with the extensive road network.... "which way? Left or right?" "I don't know where we are! Was that single track road an A road??" (Thankfully its not a big island and sooner or later you hit a coast!). We were involved in a minor Road Traffic Accident though... we'd stopped behind a car behind a bus and the car behind us decided to overtake us all, and knocked our wing mirror with an almighty thunk as he did so! He stopped and apologised profusely, but actually no damage was done. These little Suzuki Jimny's are made of solid stuff!!
On the way home we stopped in at a bar/restaurant called Zuccio's in Holetown for a few drinks. As mentioned before we had seen Martin Taylor in concert on Friday and he'd played a tune that (as he explained) was a calypso song inspired by his nights drinking in a bar called Cocomo's on Barbados. Of course, we had to go there! It was under new ownership...and called Zuccio's, but still a fun place to hang out for a while.
