Havelock Island Fishing Trip

                                                                    Fishing Trip
                   This is where our fishing trip journey begins from the Beach at Village No 1

                       It was from here we boarded the fishing boat

                                         
                              No mucking around as soon as we left the fishing begins!

We get out a little way and I was sitting next to Meg'z enjoying the nice day settled in ready for the day and all of a sudden a wave come over the side of the boat and i was drenched made me gasp...lol.. so I  decided I was not going to sit anymore just didn't want to be wet the whole time we were out I stood up under the little shading that we had  and at the same time I was drying out.

          We stopped off at this Island on our trip back it was beautiful an uninhabited island 
                      I was told that there were Lots of Dear,Wild pigs and Snakes here 
                                              wasn't about to go for any walks.

          Mark decided it was time for a dip in this beautiful clear water 
                                             and how could he resist!

                                                     I stayed on the boat
                     Meg'z hoped out to take a look around and take a photo or two

We had been out fishing for a few hours and decided to start back the rain clouds were starting to set in and on the way back Mark managed to hook himself a nice fish
                                             King mackerel

Back at the Wild Orchid the chef cooked Marks fish made two differnt dishes for us to try it was very tasty we couldent manage to finnish it off but we did enjoy it!!
                               
              The next night the king Mackerel was on the menu board

                                                           what a beautiful place to be!

                       Enjoying the lovely day rain or shine I was going to this beautiful beach

                                             

I went for a nice walk along this road early one morning you have to be watchful of vehicles coming along this road.

They are very narrow roads that were built to cater for a donkey and cart maintenance of the road is something they just don't spend the money on.

  

If you want to live a long life you are best to give way to all traffic coming your way step aside into the vegetation and mud if you have to....

                                             

If it's a truck or bus you may get blown over run to a safe driveway nearby if possible...lol

This is the local Milk bar convenience store
1 min walk from the resort

  Nice to see they have chilled beer....

This is a house that is ready for an extension...hmmm.. wonder how long this has    been in progress for!!

Seems like a place to get some nice fresh baked bread

Not any bread insight at all...hmmm we couldn't figure out why it was called a German Bakery they had me confused!!We did get a nice milk coffee.

Rony is a very nice man lives here with his wife children and other members of the family 

his brother owns the property here and across the road he gave him this little piece of land to build his home and restaurant on.

Mark and I had a few meals here Rony is always willing to cook you up a lobster or two if you wish fresh from the ocean great hospitality if you ever go to havelock Island I recommend eating here.
