Ritchard,
Methinks somebody needs a nap or a drink or both? It happens, and even more often when trying to host those youngsters..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/Grin.gif" alt="" />
Personally speaking, we always enjoy our shopping days in town even though I hate to 'shop' per se and really never buy very much of anything, but from years of experience and practical application, we know the P'berg ins and outs and do's and don'ts - we know to go very early before the shops open and have a pleasant and leisurely breakfast somewhere along the beach while we watch the town come alive.
We also know to check the cruise ship calendar before we head into town as anything over two ships is one too many for me. But we have friends of long standing who have businesses in town and it's always fun to catch up with them. We really don't consider Great Bay Beach to be a destination beach, but it is a place where you can eat, drink, beach it, shop, or even book and do the fabulous 12 Metre sailing excursion or any of a number of other great trips and activities that all originate out of P'berg.
And lastly, we know to beat feet out of town by noon at the latest so we can head back to our favorite beach or pool or bar or any combination of those three. P'berg isn't for the feint-hearted but we always enjoy our days in town so I'm sorry to hear it didn't work for you and your family. But I totally agree about the beach vendors across the island and the SSBAG - they just don't do it for us either.
Please keep the write ups coming as I think we're all enjoying your sense of humor, your ability to tell a story and your art of bringing us all along with you. Thank you..... <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" /> <img src="http://www.traveltalkonline.com/forums/images/graemlins/handshake.gif" alt="" />
