Two weeks in the Caribbean! Lucky me!
I’m playing catch-up. Thank you so much Cathy for keeping the Photos purring along.
I can’t just leave out the two weeks of our One-a-Week Photo Challenge I missed – not after nearly three years of weekly postings, so I will be catching up with a couple of posts today.
A few more scenes from that balcony – not a bad place to sit and have lunch 😉

I was staying at The Hamilton Beach Villas which were beautiful, but not quite what they promise on their website. No Spa. When we questioned this we were told that they “had got a bit over enthusiastic on their website” !
There seemed to be a lot of that going on in the Caribbean. Often when travelling I have found people tell you what they think you want to hear – anyone else had that experience?
The colors are amazing! I don’t think I’ve ever seen such deep blue as far as the eye can see! Wow!

Oh yes Eliz the colours in the Caribbean are extraordinary – I love having the photos to remember that feeling of soaking up their health boosting properties. 🙂

It still mentions a Spa on the website. That is very naughty!!

And they don’t seem to have any immediate plans to build the Spa or the Gym they also advertise, naughty is an understatement – more to come!

Hmmmm, I could think of worse places to eat my lunch ~lol~ as I shiver in Wales in the descending temperatures!
Those sunsets are something else, and was there ever a sea so blue?

The colours of the Caribbean certainly filled me with a sense of well-being and joy – the ever changing hues of the sea……. magical
