Is there any better feeling than waking up to blue sky, the sun shining and a sandy beach saying "come walk along me", "squish those toes in the sand - let me play before the snow comes". No there isn't any better feeling and that is exactly what we did, we headed north and found a lovely little cafe basically right on the water. A little bite to eat and then back down to the water. Did I say that the Atlantic Ocean was warmer than Muskoka got all year long. And considering the fact that there was a major hurricane going by Bermuda the water was so calm, barely a ripple.
The above are the views from our room. Coffee in the morning, wine in the evening. Life is good.
Next stop is the clublink course Heron Bay. And finally an alligator or crocodile, haven't figured out the difference yet. Doing my best not to get close enough to ask :).
It is amazing how close the birds would let you get to them. This lovely egret finally had enough of me creeping closer and closer and with quite the squawk took off to the other side of the canal.
So graceful, now if only my golf swing was that fluid. And yes I am on a golf course, thank goodness there wasn't anyone behind us and the 2 in front were really pokey, gave me lots of opportunity to take pictures.
These trees brought to mind the big plantation houses. The root systems were amazing and so old.
The Heron Bay Clubhouse.
This was another gated community with some amazing houses.
A lovely glass of zinfandel as we watched the sunset and then we headed to the
Las Olas area and
Cafe Europa for a wonderful Italian dinner. Homemade Gnocchi Sorrentino for me and Veal Parm and Eggplant for Jim - mouth watering.
A wonderful surprise as we are having our coffee in the morning, while we were sleeping these gigantic cruise ships arrived.
Today is beach day, a little walk, a little swim. The water was a little rougher today. Still remembering my jellyfish stings from Capri I was being very careful and trying to be very brave. First dip no problem. Lie on the loungers with a "coco loco" and notice people are starting to point and sure enough there are a couple of jelly fish. This little boy actually catches one in his net. OK, I'm not happy. But I am hot. Find a group of people and figure if a jelly fish gets through all of them and stings me than c'est la vie. The water was heaven.
One final dinner back to
Las Olas and
Grille 401 for a great steak dinner. A lovely visit and I'm looking forward to going back in January for a longer time I hope.
