STT-Trip Report - An Embarrassment of Mangoes
Neltjeberg Bay - Hubby and I headed out in the morning to try to find the beach at Neltjeberg. 4 wheel drive is necessary but the road is not as bad as it used to be. Some parts of it are paved now.
After going up and down several roads and me saying, nope, not it, nope, wrong road, and hubby thinking to himself, I’m sure, she doesn’t have a clue where we’re going and she won’t admit it. . . I finally got the right road: YEAH!
Arrive finally and first thing is to explore the ruins.
The ruins are so beautiful.
2 dogs joined us on the beach, very well-behaved and hung with us most of the time we were there.
We hung out, walked the beach and generally enjoyed our day. Hubby gathered up mangoes from the ground and we had so many we were giving them away for the next 3 days (Despite having eaten so many and making so so many frozen drinks with them) I snorkeled to the rocks on the right but nothing really to see and the water was stirred up. Funny thing was, when I went to snorkel, one of the dogs swam out after me and kept trying to push me back into shore. Don’t know if he was trying to save me or warn me. . .
No one on the beach except us. . .
We took a pic of ourselves
Had dinner at our new neighbors that night - good food and great company.
Great pics. Now in that pic of the toes - the painted red ones are hubby's, right?
It would have been real easy to paint his toes after the BVI trip with the "open bar" but alas that's not until the next day on island!
C Urchin,
Really enjoyed your report. The photos are real nice -- and you did go to the the trouble of labeling them as to where they were taken. You did a real nice job in sharing.
Enjoyed your various trip report installments! Thanks. :D. Sounds like you had a terrific visit.

C Urchin,
Nice Pictures! Makes me want to go right now!
Thanx for sharing and I am lookin' forward to you next trip!
Thanks for the trip report and great photos. I see from your photo album you stayed at Point Pleasant. We stayed there during our first visit to STT about six years ago and really enjoyed that complex. It was nice having great restaurants like Agave Terrace and Fungi right on the property. The photos of Neltejberg Beach were great - they reminded me of an adventure hike I made to the beach a few years ago. Thanks for sharing your trip with us all.
