After a day by the pool we decided to BBQ some wild Alaska king salmon we brought with us on our deck. We lucked out because right when we finished eating GEBE did it's thing. Luckily Flamingo has a powerful generator and all was well. Just a 2 minute lap till it kicked in. Now we have a new roommate. Miss or mister Gecko is now having free roam in our room. Fast little bugger. Can't catch it. Off to Orient this morning.

Glad for the generator. Geckos are a good thing. They eat bugs!!

Yes. Speaking of bugs. Seen zero mosquitoes on island so far. 🤞

They're probably no bugs because of the gecko. Ha ha! Seriously though in some areas of the world a gecko in the house is a good sign.

we have come to the conclusion, we would rather eat in than go out. We are early risers, about 5:30. beach all day, sun, swim and indulge .. I'm too tired to go out. also we were soooooo disappointed with the food at 2 very expensive $$$$ restaurants. one dinner cost 432. and the other 150. (without tip). ate in the rest of the stay. I'd rather a fabulous lunch at orient, or amazing happy hour and snacks at yacht club

We prefer cooking for similar reasons. A plus for us is the grocery stores. In the past Super U and recently Carrefour have proven to have very good fresh fish and beef and many other goodies. We broiled salmon twice and a ribeye one night. Yes, not cheap at the grocery stores but still cheaper than going out plus we usually have leftovers that become breakfast or lunch the next day.
