Pin It
After a cooked breakfast and, with the weather having improved significantly, we decided it would be a waste of a gorgeous sunny day to stay on board. So, we decided to head for the beach, Anse Vata, in particular. That, of course, meant our "first rodeo" on the local buses. Working out what bus to take and then where to get it was a little confused by the "hop-on-hop-off" buses arranged for the passengers of another cruise ship which arrived this morning, but we managed to work it out We decided the best option would be to hop off at the furthest point, Ouen Toro, then spend the day strolling back along the various beach fronts. By late morning we stopped at Amorino La Cialdina to enjoy a cappuccino, which Elaine managed to order without incident. However, sending Roy back to the counter to order a few additional items turned out to be a very bad idea. What we wanted was a chocolate crepe for Elaine and a cone with two scoops of gelato fo r Roy. Well, obviously something definitely got lost in translation when a chocolate crepe filled with two scoops of gelato arrived instead. Needless to say, we were both in fits of laughter. We have no doubt that the server must have thought it was a rather strange order, but, who knows, it may very well end up on their menu as it wasn't too bad at all. By the time we'd walked the 5miles / 8km back to Port de la Moselle we had definitely earned a drink at the Brasserie, where we met two Australian holiday makers who couldn't help but over hear us trying desperately to give the waitress our drinks order in such a way that we stood a chance of actually getting what we wanted. We ended up having a delightful conversation with them and learnt about a few more places in Australia we may want to visit. En route back Paw Paw we stopped by Alchemy I to meet Aaron and Geraldine properly and make arrangements to meet up tomorrow. After leaving them we were called ove r by the crew off Grey Pearl who had just arrived and needed some help on where to anchor, as well as details on the clearing in process. Add to that the various folks we chatted to at the bus stops and it was certainly a day of unexpected encounters.
