Nightclubs and bars

Old San Juan has a great selection of bars. lounge bars and the like.  Other than a huge selection of cocktails the music is just as varied.

San Juan Night life

Does not take much to have a good time in San Juan.  All you need is to find any bar and you are bound to find some band setting up to provide you with great live music and all you have to do is join the locals in some dancing.  Salsa is de rigour and the Mercado de la Plaza in Santruce on a Friday night is a must.....

Reflection

Liked what I saw!

Lava flow

Managed to find a new beach on Tortola today.  The secret was revealed by a person I met on the dive boat last week.  The beach is deserted as it is quite difficult to find but you are rewarded with a great wide beach with white sand surrounded by lava flows which has come down the mountain into the sea.  These rugged rocks are extremely sharp and play host to some rather large crabs!  The landscape is quite spectacular and to find a deserted beach in the Caribbean is quite an event.

Marina Cay

If you are looking for a great afternoon and evening on Tortola you'd be foolish not to give marina Cay a try from Mondays to Thursdays as there a a great show on.  Michael Bean entertains guests for two hours solid with be comical take on a pirate theme.  What makes this a unique experience is that you have to take a boat from Trellis Bay to the Marina which is itself located on an island.  After the show, stay for dinner and the boat waits waits to take you back to the main island.  Good fun had by all!

Mount Healthy

This is close to where I go to yoga... isn't it great to have a spa in a place called Mount Healthy!

Steep hill ahead

I told you there were steep hills in the BVI... if you don't believe me look at the gradient on the top sign... and they are not exaggerating!
