Our Sunday-morning flight was delayed, so we didn't end up taking off from Newark until after 10 AM.
Between the 3½ hour flight and the 1 hour time change, it was around 3 PM (AST) when we landed at the Cyril E. King Airport.
There were musicians playing steel drums and maracas inside the tiny airport arrivals area (as well as free Cruzan rum sampling), but it was quite chaotic and loud, so we rushed through without stopping.
After some initial confusion, we found the shuttle to the car rental office to pick up our sweet ride.
Our primary objective for today was to find the Airbnb rental, so we followed Google Maps, up and over the hills, to the north side of the island. We stopped at a scenic overlook to take in the view of the end of the runway.
After some adventurous driving, we located the rental house, unloaded, and changed into island apparel.
The view from the porch makes the difficult approach road worth it.
I believe this is Inner Brass island, close enough to see the white sand of the beach.
After exploring the accommodations, including the loft, and testing the hammock and some Adirondack chairs, we ventured forth to find some food.
This is how we have to lock up, when leaving. I'm digging that "barn" vibe.
We chose one of the closer options, and meandered through the hilltops over to the Mofalie restaurant.
The food was good, and the view was better.
We had a relaxing dinner while watching the sunset.
The drive back to the house was even more exciting in the dark.
As we were in for the night, we secured the facility from the inside, and settled in to listen to the sounds of the jungle.
I'm not sure what tomorrow entails, but I suspect it might involve one or more beaches.
