 Today was a lazy day. It was SO HOT! We spent the morning relaxing until our 1:30 buggy ride. 

We got to our buggy ride. The hosts were quite entertaining. The rules were straight forward, however, we were not prepared to the degree of which people would not follow the rules.

Especially the lady and her son that were in the car ahead of us. DUMBASSES! The lady was on the phone during the instructional portion on SAFETY! It was basically a tutorial of how NOT TO DIE. She was on the phone and missed the tutorial. So we had to follow HER! Ugh!

We saw some good sights on the island but it was so hot, that it was a little unenjoyable. We saw the Cheshire plantation. We learned about the slaves and how they grew cotton. The entire time there is was quiet and heavy feeling. We saw the slave living conditions, the plantation ruins and could picture what it was like in the 1800’s there.

We then went to lunch. Lunch was actually the highlight for me. I was a bit cranky because I was overheated AND hungry. Give a girl some food and a cold beverage and her attitude changes. Our lunch was overlooking the ocean. It was a mix of conch, conch fritters, chicken, plantains and more. I did eat the conch which several jokes were shared around that sentence.

Our hosts were pretty funny. They took us and showed us the house that was formerly owned by Prince. 

We got back from the buggy ride and went to the ocean to cool off. Ahhhhh the water was refreshing. The day topped out at 87 degrees and extremely humid. 

After our swim, we prepared for a walk to dinner. We went to the same restaurant that we went to on our first night. We sat outside in the warm air. I got 2 margaritas. Yum!

Not a bad way to end our last day here.
