turks and caicos bucket list
james and i are excited and sad about the news – i knew that the day would come, when we would have to move…and some told me it would happen when i felt the happiest on island – and how right they were. we have a lot to do before we leave and hope to make the best out our last days in provo.
so, i made a short bucket list of things i have been postponing since day one, and want to fit in before we leave –
* go parasailing, and face the fear of heights
* eat out at coco bistro, trip advisor’s number one restaurant in provo
* dive with james, and hope i don’t get to see any sharks
* cross the ferry, and go cycling with friends through north and middle caicos
* explore the one spot on island i haven’t been to, the remote beach in west harbor
* visit our capital city, cockburn town, in the island of grand turk
* go to salt cay, for humpback whale watching
* take james on an helicopter tour of the islands
* and the hardest one…get my father to come visit!
so, provo friends, what are the things you still want to do whilst on island – spill the beans!

happy easter weekend
happy easter weekend friends! we are having a four day weekend, and for the first time we are not taking advantage of our days off to travel. we are staying home, and feel quite happy to have a long relaxing weekend on island.
i always miss my family during this holidays. we have the tradition of getting together to spend easter weekend at our family home in the north of portugal – we eat, drink, go for long walks, shop at the local market, and spend hours chatting by the fireplace with a glass of port wine!
so i try to make up for it with fun things to do on island. we went for drinks to the new bar that opened this week, right next to lemon 2 go cafe, – the sandbar – this place is going to be the perfect spot for pre and after dinner drinks. also we have booked to go for a special easter dinner at the new italian restaurant that is now open in grace bay area – via veneto – i am so excited to try it out!
wishing you all have an amazing weekend, hopefully with a bit os sun too! xx – j
ps – last year’s easter weekend in provo
commonwealth day
sorry i’ve been so MIA friends…i can’t believe how time flies, we’re already in spring – not that we notice any change in weather, or even look forward to the change of season*, here on island. provo is very busy, with spring break and now easter, the hotels are full, but the beaches are still quiet… the perks of turks and caicos!
luckily for us, today is a bank holiday, we are celebrating commonwealth day – so we have a three day working week! hope you have a lovely week ahead, my friends!
* ok, we do look forward to spring and a warmer weather in the northern hemisphere, so we can go on long weekends to new york :)
ps – i took this picture last week in chalk sound
best spots to watch the sunset in turks and caicos
i asked a few provo friends if they would share their favorite sunset spots on island. the skies are beautiful here in turks and caicos, with no pollution and no buildings, the sunsets are unbelievable – ask anyone who’s been here.
overall these were the favourite spots to watch the sun go down –
* at the amanyara resort, on the west point of the island, having their signature mojito (picture taken by sven)
* at somewhere on the beach, whilst having an early dinner of fish tacos and rum punch.
* at the infinity bar, at the grace bay club resort, for a glass of bubbly at the coolest bar on island.
And a few more worthy sunsets from around the island –
from leeward, when we had just arrived on island.
from ocean club west, taken by marta.
from pelican beach, taken by ingrid.
from the regent grand resort, taken by noemia.
from the seven stars resort, taken by kelcey.
from the atabeyra, on a glow worm sunset cruise.
THANK YOU friends, for sharing your sunset pictures!
ps – another magic sunset we saw one day on our first year in provo.
