TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin Orient Road Trip Continues

From my comments you will note I am easily amused when on vaca
Saturday
Another glorious Orient day, again not crowded
Lavender pattern am, purple pm
Chez Leandra’s for chicken curry, more like a chicken stew with curry broth – excellent
In Petit Casino bought local lettuce this week packed in a clamshell – Soualiga Farms in Colombier - Lovely, so clean guessing hydroponics
Three more parachutists today – late morning, dropped sort of over Green Cay, all went to Mt Vernon beach area

Randoms – bought cheese at Marigot Super u Friday – comte and morbier, excellent. Store was packed, 9 checkouts and 3 self service – who knew shopping as a contact sport!

Sunday
Beach great, not busy
The Tiko Tiko sailing tender was sailing around in the afternoon nice little clinker built dinghy with some sort of lug sail
Pirates for late day snack – shared the lobster wrap - excellent. Maurice mentioned Olivier from Orange Fever is at Tropical Wave while Pat is away for medial treatment
Pedro’s has live music Sunday – or at least a singer
Purple was the col of the day – 1st chink showing – the top did not match a blue shade, a tremor in the Force Luc!
Looked like one parachutist around 3pm
Rant for the day – way more beach floppers this yr, just plunk a towel in front of loungers, immediate attitude if asked to move along – either to the beach bar attendant or those in loungers
Talked to a young couple on their honeymoon, 1st wk at Divi, renting balance of stay in Oyster Pond. Said they loved Baie Rouge, Mullet not so much – crowed and a little dirty was their comment

Glad the wind seems to have calmed down..

I love Super U!

We were at Sun beach today at they were crowded. We walked into Pedro's to menu hop as we miss Andy & Cheryl's grilled hot dog and heard the singer. He was saying anyone with music talent can sing which wasn't me.

We also went to Super U on our way from the airport Saturday and it was packed! The lines 5-6 deep and everyone had full carts. It was about 4 PM.

More details later.

If you are beaching tomorrow, we sit at Brothers, front row, last 2 loungers to the north - stop by
