amanyara

hope you had a great weekend and weren’t too cold, if you were off island…

we had some friends over from new york. it’s always nice to have a visitors and enjoy the island from their point of view – we had a relaxing lunch at da conch shack, had fun shooting starfish and relaxed at the beach and went out for dinner and drinks.

we even went on a mini road trip to the amanyara resort, it is just 30 minutes away, but since we moved to provo, everything further than 10 minutes becomes a road trip for us!

it was a nice break from our usual island life. the resort is secluded, it is quiet, calm and relaxed and  perfect for a drink at sunset – seriously they have the best mojito on island.

we were lucky enough to arrive just in time for some whale watching – humpback whales migrate through turks and caicos during this time of the year. i have to say it is exciting, seeing them passing right in front of the beach club at the resort!

i hear amanyara will soon be opening their beach club for non residents and they have this amazing new pizza oven – i can’t wait to go back for pizza and a mojito, great combo for me!

his dive story

One of my fav things to do when we are approaching the boat after  our dive is to look for these small creatures of the sea. You almost have to place yourself next to a big coral and observe with patience as it will take a bit of time to adjust your eyes to start seeing these little ones.

It’s really amazing what you see and how there is so much life just in a small section of a coral!

caicos cafe

last night we went over to caicos cafe for dinner, it’s my number one restaurant in provo – i love having a glass of chianti and dinning on their outside seating area, their friendly staff and knowing that i will have a great meal every time i go.

we shared the sea scallops with almond herb and pancetta crust for starter, trust me, this is a must – and the lobster with linguini is a favourite too (sorry, no picture). we don’t usually have dessert but tried the almond mille feuille, light and just perfect!

i can’t wait to go back!

happy weekend

happy weekend friends!

we are starting off the weekend with a party at club pillows tonight – wouldn’t this be the perfect secret code when you want to leave a party and you really are going home? tomorrow i hope i make it to yoga in the morning – and sea, sun and sand for the rest of the weekend. hope you have a good one and can enjoy some sun shining too!
