The BVI
Sorry that it has been a few weeks since we have posted, but we have been busy exploring the British Virgin Islands. First we went to Tortola and stayed at the most dilapidated campground ever. It was not even cheep and they made us pay a hotel tax. The fish fry that happens every Friday did not happen because the lady running the camp did not want to do it. This does not come as a surprise since this is very common here on the islands, but it was a bit of a disapointment since we had no food to eat.
The Island of Tortola is a great place, very sleepy place. I bought a kite at the market and attempted to fly it while Kellie was sunbathing on our own private beach, not really but there was no one in sight. The town is very small, it is the capital of the BVI, with not much to eat or see. We have done some big hikes in our lives, but nothing compares to the roads of Tortola, they are so steep and windy.
This Last week we took a boat to Jost Van Dyke, with a snorkle stop in Turtle Cove. We swam with a turtle and got some great underwater photos with the Sponge Bob Camera. We will get those online as soon as we find a place to develop them here. The campground on Jost was the best we have found. It ran on an honor system and had many tire swings and hammocks. The beaches are amazing and the water crystal clear.
As for the rest of things the car is dead we are trying to get rid of it. We ran out of gas in the house, and the fridge is now not working. Still hanging in there. On a side note the camera is now making rainbows around everything, if anyone knows why this is let us know.
