happy, happy weekend

it’s good to be back home, after traveling for two weeks.

it’s nice to be back to my shorts and flip flops and looking at this amazing sea every day. it’s been raining on and off, half an hour this morning and another half an hour yesterday afternoon, but in between the weather is great for the beach…so that’s what we’re doing this weekend. Ah, and we’re planning to get some fresh lobster to bbq!

guest post ~ clarissa

clarissa and hayden are james’s friends from malta, they love diving as much as he does, so they came over to spend a week with us before the end of season – and they were our first guests at home!

what do you think makes turks and caicos (providenciales) so special?

Diving amongst the most varied marine life and different species that one can imagine! The sharks were a favourite of ours :-)

what were your favourite things to do whilst in the island?

Some of our favourite stuff was just walking along the endless white sandy beaches and swimming in that crystal clear turquoise water and spotting the sting ray & various fish & shells.

would you recommend to a friend?

We would definitely recommend Turks to our friends! It’s a lovely island with a really laid back feel and its a great place for one to unwind and relax! We can’t wait to come back :-)

ps – guest posts

da conch shack

we always love going to da conch shack, its the perfect spot to take our guests for a meal and it truly gives you a caribbean feeling, right on the beach with the perfect view.

plus, the food is amazing, you can eat everything conch; stew, curry, fritters, cracked and salad. i love the cracked conch for starter and the blackened snapper, locally caught snapper with a delicious spicy seasoning – and the fried plantains…so yummy!
