Have hired a car for the day so off exploring island today-going to French side. Marigot is said to be elegant and Grand Casse good for street food. It gets dark at 6 so we are a bit limited as to what we can see today. Tomorrow we will drive to the airport via Maho beach which is where the planes fly low over the sea. On the French side in a wonderful cafe -see photo. Shame we are not really that hungry!

The view from our room at 8 this morning. Booked to go swimming on horse back this afternoon. Island is nice except for US style food - mostly fast food in huge portions. We spotted some Indian restaurants in philipsberg so will go back there tonight. Just returned from riding- we got wet up to put waists. The sun was just setting as we got back. Now in Philipsberg having a baileys banana colada in happy hour and looking forward to a hot brownie fudge sundae...
