Dec 11~12 – Antigua and Tortola

Day 5 in Southern Caribbean, Dec 11 – Downtown Antigua
南加勒比第五天,12月11日,安提瓜

  It is another life in vista
  It is an island called Antigua

  A beach always near
  One per day for a whole year
  People were born with no fear
  Who want to die, there is where

  Let me take you away
  To the warm sea and sun
  Let me take you away
  To the island, full of fun ... rephrased from Antigua Joe

  安提瓜不大,土地一共才一百零八平方英里,有七万人生活在这里。

  早上再看一次日出。可连着玩了两天,我们都有点累了,于是决定今天就不去玩什么了,就在港口附近和城里逛逛。一听只是逛街,不高兴就说不参加,要在房间里睡觉。也好,我就和爸爸妈妈出去玩了。
  瞻仰安提瓜的毛主席,看看安提瓜的街道......

  除了我们的船,还有一条也停这儿了。
  晚餐上,服务员安娜又送了一盘饼干,有绿有白的。挺甜的,不怎么好吃,大家就互相“谦让”起来。我先吃了一块,妈问我好吃不好吃,我说好吃;妈尝了一块,爸问妈好吃不好吃,妈说好吃;可谁也不拿下一块。不高兴偷着乐。有一种是黑巧克力的,妈让爸吃,说是黑巧克力对人有好处。正纳闷儿这好处何来呢,爸说“吃了见老”。一想那就更不对了,谁敢吃呀?! 再说一遍才明白是“健脑”!哈哈大笑!

  安娜看`不高兴`那么爱照相,也过来合影。
Mom, Ana, and me
  Ana noticed that Boathill had not missed any dish for his camera. She joked if the photographer was trying to copy the secret and open a restaurant back to home. Boathill admitted that it was all for a blog on this trip and invited her in a group picture with Mom and me -- thanking her for a wonderful dinner... Although we only went to the town center and did not go to see any beach today, we had fully rested and prepared for tomorrow.




Day 6 in Southern Caribbean, Dec 12 – Cane Garden Bay, Tortola
南加勒比第六天,12月12日,妥妥拉

  Arenas en Tortola, mucha mucha musica
  Playa blanca, una dia romantica

  Most vacation would slow down a little bit in the middle or after 4~5 days. We were lazy yesterday and did not take any tour. I felt missed something and forced myself doing a better research before the sleep. Due to the left-side driving, we had to take the tour bus. Later, Boathill found he did not capture many beautiful scenes as he did in other trips. Because there were no chance to photograph on a bumping bus when we were surprised by some phenomenal views at the turns, from tree gaps, or at a high point.

  昨天歇够了,今天出来玩。这个岛叫脱脱啦,听起来又像“特拖拉”。这是英属维京岛最大的——三十六平方英里(36 square miles),长十二迈,宽三迈。和前几个岛一样,这里开车都是在左边,上山下山的转弯恨不得有九十度,比起波多黎各,地上的坑只多不少。所以只能坐当地的旅游车,很多景色特别是俯瞰海湾的风光就无法捕捉下来了。

  今天去的地方叫做甘蔗园湾。不高兴为了照相,特意花了十五块钱租了两把椅子一把红伞。他说这相邻两把伞比别处的都好看,一红一篮,和黄绿色的椰树对比鲜明。

  虽然我们在海里游不起来,但阻挡不了我们对浪的迷恋、对水的热爱。

  今晚又是要求正规服装。把以前买的一条裙子拿出来换上。先在船头来几张。没等到落日船就启航了,移动的海湾让夕阳忽左忽右。不一会儿,翻卷的乌云带着暴雨追了上来,送客似的把甲板上的人都赶回了船舱。不高兴坚守在雨中,拍到了晚霞在云中躲闪的一个瞬间。

  爸爸妈妈在十六楼发现了这个安静的地方。不高兴喜欢这里的天窗,正好让闪光灯反射到人身上,像一片天光。

  进了餐厅入座之后,发现老爸没跟上来。正纳闷儿呢,只见他披着一件蓝绿色的制服走了过来。一问哪儿混整这么件西服,他才气急败坏地说因为只穿着短袖衬衫,让门口的服务生给截住了,硬给他加了件衣服,号码不合适,缩着手就进来了。也不知道他们语言不通,怎么讲明白的。心想他们比划着那“蓝袍加身”的情景,一定够可乐的,干脆让老爸在这儿打份工得了。其实前两天晚餐,不高兴穿着大裤衩子也一样混吃混喝,怎么今天就查上半截袖啊?
  该点菜了,今天吃龙虾。我和不高兴一人干掉两盘。
You can eat as many lobsters as you want ... Green asparagus and bacon Lobster and Tiger Shrimps Seafood Cake Dessert - Souffle
  Princess cruise had changed the lobster recipe. It was used to be two or three lobsters in the plate (when we were on Princess Dawn Alaska). Now we had one lobster and two big tiger shrimps. We all thought that was a better combination. We loved it. Anyway, it was an experience. No one can eat lobster everyday. For us, cruise was the best opportunity to try different cuisines other than Chinese and home dishes.
