Party 2011

Celebration the New Year at 28°C is quite the experience. Together with everything else, New Year 2011 will not be easily forgotten. We got the crew from the crossing together and added Ingrid to celebrate at Prickly Bay Marina.



The party started with a local steel drum band that got everything nicely going. We stood at the bar for a while with a Carib, the best local beer. When we got hungry, we decided not to get the buffet but go for a la carte and got two nice lobster tails.

While the party continued and 2011 got closer, we switched lazily to gin and tonic whenever we could get an order from the now frantic action at the bar.



After watching all the fireworks across the bay, the dancing continued with the live band playing 70's and 80's hits, and the crowd of mainly Westerners enjoying the ambiance and music.

When the party started winding down, we took off for another party with mainly locals and blood pumping black music. Quite different, but an unforgettable thing to experience. Very rhythmic club music, with proud and assertive lyrics. Caribbean culture is a very live thing indeed.



Ingrid started hugging palm trees on the beach of the club, amazed at finding trees on a beach.



We got a bit tired around five, so got a ride back to the marina where a guard was still keeping an eye on the pool, so we gave the early morning swim a miss. Still a night never to forget!
