Ice-cream Day! Turks and Caicos, Feb. 12, 2012

We woke up to clouds this morning and it wasn't long before the rain came and went. The weather continued to be hot and windy. Couldn't stay in so Ian and I ventured to the Bight with the intention of snorkelling. Seeing white caps in close both of us opted out and continued our walk westward along the beach. My craving for freshly made island ice-cream (why me?) had us venture a very long way to  the Sibonne Resort. The resort is quaint or could be described as having a cottage feel. Apparently it was the first hotel built on Grace Bay Beach. At the Bay Bistro you can look out to the ocean but today they put down some coverings to keep the sand from blowing in.
The restaurant is for fine (and expensive) dining in a casual beach atmosphere. We were only here for the home-made ice-cream. Three scoops were served in a coconut shell for $7.00. I sampled rum and raisin, coconut and chocolate. All good but not as special as I was anticipating. Of course it was a long walk back into the wind; so glad I brought my hoodie.
Skyped Cam and Brenda and Jessie. Interesting news.
