Lobster pots

Lobster is well known in this region, here are some lobster pots laying out to dry.

Dive Pics

Got lent an underwater camera this weekend... here are some of the results.. not bad for my first attempt!  Now that I am hooked on diving what a way to add my other hobby, photography.  All I need now is to find myself an underwater camera!

Peter Island

Took my first trip to Peter Island.  This is a privately owned island of the BVI housing a very exclusive resort where you can rent villas or hotel room with quite spectacular views.  To get there you take a 30 min ferry from Road Town and it drops you off at the marina which is only 5 mins walk from a rather idealic beach.  Stay for lunch at the beach grill and lounge around sun bathing for the rest of the day.  Quite an enjoyable experience but a bit too tame for my liking... i.e. too resort.

An unfortunate coincidence

Today's BVI News online has an unfortunate coincidence... the banner has an advert for the latest Suzuki 4X4 promoting its 4 wheel ABS.. unfortunately, just below the advert is one such vehicle (even the same colour) after hitting a coconut tree!

Road Party

Came across this band setting up on the roadside.... looks like a Sunday tradition but if I am not mistaken, it will be church songs more likely than reggae.

Dinner?

Fresh fish is a must in the BVI although some people tell me that you shouldn't eat fish caught in the these waters because of the high levels of mercury and a bacteria that can be found on some species of fish..... this guy was quite happy with his lobster and fish!
