We are fortunate to be on holiday once again. Only this time to the Carribean, Turks and Caicos. Not sad to leave our new home in Pincher Creek. Should really rename this blog something like Windy Tales of the West. It has been cold, snowy and windy. Most days there is a wind of at least 30 kph, often more. Sometimes it is so windy that the water in the toilet bowls sloshes around a bit. So we decide to take a winter getaway. And good timing indeed: -28 with blowing snow on the way to the airport.
A very long journey for a little girl with a night flight to Toronto, and then a connection in Toronto. We arrived to our condo suite a little worse for wear, but enjoyed the rum punch party, snacks and dinner.
Attracted by tales of snorkelling and its relative isolation and lack of development.
It is indeed one of the most perfect beaches I have ever been on - white sandy beach that stretches for miles and turquoise clear water due to the sand.
Close to the US and Canada, with a few all inclusive resorts but also lots of condos. And the occasional development that has gone bankrupt. A few grocery stores, restaurants and a couple of souvenir shops. The relative isolation and apparent wealth of visitors appears to drive up the price of food, especially compared to home. $3 for a loaf of bread is reasonable, and $40 for a restaurant meal is standard.
But this helps it be not as busy and feel exclusive.
