The Visit – Part 3 – the bars

When the boys first arrived, we took them to a bar called Snappa’s. It featured a “musician” called Browntip. He plays the saw and sings along to canned music. I found it intriguing for about 5 minutes but the beat never changed and neither did the tone.

Bev and the boys, however, almost closed the place, so I guess it is a matter of taste.

Of course, everyone enjoys Nipper’s – especially after snorkeling in the waves.

We also did the pot luck dinner at Grabbers.

Finally, before they left, we had lunch at the Jib Room. The meals were excellent and the portions were humongous. Johnny’s club sandwich had to have been about 4 inches thick. Bev and I could have easily split any of the meals and not have been able to finish. It is highly recommended, but bring a friend.

Finally, we had hoped to take in a Junkaroo. The kids in the photo above were probably about 8 years old. This is a cultural phenomena where various groups compete in a parade with elabourate costumes and intricate dance steps. The participants start very young and continue on well into adulthood. Unfortunately, the "Parade" was one and a half hours late in getting started and there were gaps of about 15 minutes between groups while they got themselves organized. The party and parade started at about 8:00 PM and went on well into the "wee" hours. Unfortunately, neither Bev nor I had the stamina to persevere.

Our loss I guess.
