the storm has finally calmed down, after being stuck at home for three days, provo is flooded and so are other turks and caicos islands. luckily, we stocked up on food saturday morning, just after dropping off my family at the airport, probably for the last flight that flew out of providenciales before the storm. the airport was flooded and the flights canceled until today. living here, we are all used to being out a lot, so we all got a little bit of cabin fever during the past days.
i didn’t get any pictures of the flooded roads on the island – there are loads on facebook – but don’t remember irene, three years ago, being so harsh. at least, this time, i knew – more or less – what to expect.
pictured, grace bay beach today, julia and i were so happy to finally get out for a beach stroll.
ps – this video, taken last sunday here in provo, made me smile :)
so it’s that time of the year, i guess it starts today, the island gets quiet and so many restaurants close for a month or more. every year i always struggle to know which ones are closed and when will they reopen, so i thought i would do a little research and share the closing and opening dates of my favorite spots.
for my birthday, last month, we wanted to take it very easy, julia and i had just been back to provo for over a month and we were still getting the hang of it. so we decided to get away and spend the day close by, at parrot cay.
we weren’t sure how it would work out with the stroller, getting on the boat, access to the restaurant and the beach. we were given a room for the day in case we needed a changing, feeding, napping break, so that was really helpful.
julia loves hotels – she’s takes after her mum and dad – and loved spending the day here. the resort is not tailored to baby / baby strollers, there are a couple of steps here and there that make it a little more challenging, but some rooms have easier access, and the staff was so friendly, somehow everything worked out. we look forward to coming back soon!
