boat from the beach to Cades Reef. And we got to snorkel for an hour. First thing we saw: a huge sting ray(!) kind of freaked me out. Then fishes of all sizes and colors, awesome! Corals. I spotted a big flat fish. Saw some fish traps (cages), funny that they use coconuts as bait.

pilates 35:00 [2]
to the sound of the waves, can't think of a nicer way to start the day
bike (gary fisher mtb) 2:19:19 [2] 36.66 km (3:48 / km) +430m 3:35 / km
with Mike and guide Omaro. Pretty though ride (curious to see total climb once I upload the gps). We started at Darkwood beach and rode along the main road up Fig Tree Road (im a huge fan of fresh figs and was excited, but found out fig means banana here) climbed up through the rainforest, then went offroad for a while, rough at times, did a loop and came back down the main road to where we started.
Really nice ride on a very clear day. Omaro identified the neighbor islands: Nevis, St Kitts, Guadalope and Monserrat with the active vulcano, you can see ash on the top & smoke coming out of it. We passed pineapple plantation, banana-, mango-, coconut- and guava-trees, I had one during one of our breaks, delicious!
Great way to explore! Friendly people waving along the way. Oh, and we got a good view of Mount Obama, highest point of the island ~300m.

Note
Went for a walk with Von the medicine man and a British couple. He talked about the flora and fauna of the island and showed us, had us smell and taste things along the way. Interesting! Fresh mango, yum!

run 34:57 [1] 6.49 km (5:23 / km) +46m 5:12 / km
Jog with Mike, who is slowly recovering from a nasty cold. Cows and egrets seem to like hanging out together.
Note
Will give book reading another try.. See lots of people laying on the beach with a book and it looks nice. Searched through the hotel bookshelf and found 13 books in Swedish(!) My choice: Liza Marklund/James Patterson "Postcard killers" We'll see how it goes..
