Not bored and still reading. Kudos to you for traversing that back road to Friar's. I have found it takes real determination to make it to the end, but it's worth it.
My experience has been that Friar's always had a charge for chairs/umbrella, or maybe it was just the umbrella, but $10 sounds higher than in the past. Still, that's less than other places, and the chairs are comfy with the cushions.
Looks as though I may have to "do" Anse Marcel in your place come June.
