Their last full day Jan 13

Tuesday Jan 12

Today we went over to Regatta Point and Sue decided this was going to be a Shopping Day.  Rick and Les went off to look for a car rental place. We started at the Regatta T-Shirt sales booth then went to all 4 of the little shops and the Straw Market and back to Cleo's Tropical Accents and Gifts.

This was a special day for me! Not only is Cleo's shop "art overload", she makes spectacular jewellery, but I met Cordell's cousin Jeannette, who is an interior designer and cookbook author! She also was in 4 of the Bond movies!!!  She's also interested in coming to school to the art classes.

On our way back "downtown" we went to Peace and Plenty to check out the menu, and then we went to "Two Turtles" We decided that it was a good choice for dinner.

After we left Cleo's, we met up with Rick and Les who were sitting with Cordell and Kaybee at Driftwood. We talked about moving trees and supplies and art classes. Cordell also wants to come to the class....are they all under the mistaken impression that I am a famous artist????  Geez, no pressure!!!

Sue and I went to Red Boone to eat because she wanted another wrap. While we were there we met Escape Velocity and a few others, Julie from Boomdiada came by and Stephane sat with us. 

We had a very slow walkabout afternoon and then we went back to their room to wait for dinner time. We were going to play dominoes but we ended up just talking.

We went over to the Turtles at 5:30 and Stephane met us there. Once the music got jacked up too loud and we couldn't hear, we all left. Then, as we got back to the boat, around 9 pm VERY BAD karaoke started. Luckily the mikes were not as loud as the music machine so when the wind blew, it took away the sound...felt bad for the turtles and fish! Poor Sue and Les couldn't even sit on their balcony and enjoy the night air! If we had known it was going to be karaoke, we would have stayed and improved the quality somewhat!

Jan 13.

Today is a very grey, rainy day...we'll have to find something to do on their last full day here that will be memorable.

So we took our coffee over to Regatta point. We invited Stephane for coffee but he must have had a better offer somewhere.

We walked all the way around Lake Victoria today...about 1.5 miles.  It didn't rain at all on us but it will tonight and tomorrow. Sue and I went in to see Cleo again.  Rick and Les wandered through the tourism office.  We stopped at all the places they had been and took photos in case they missed a place.

The batteries are really low right now so we are sitting at anchor running the motor for an hour to get them up a bit.

Tonight we will have dinner at their house and play dominoes if we can stay awake! Tomorrow they have to leave L.
