My breakfast buddy
Because she felt the color blue was missing from the general ambience
Not too shabby a view to have the morning cappuccino with!
Found a rooftop Indian restaurant!
Don’t know what it is with these Caribbean islands… they have some really great Indian restaurants. Remember the one in Turks and Caicos and the other one in Nevis?

View from the other side of the bridge
Queen Emma Bridge
We were lucky to see this bridge floating on pontoons actually swing open (like a door swings open) to let boats go thru! It was something of a sight. Interestingly enough, this was toll bridge early part of previous century. There was one way to avoid paying toll… if you walked without your shoes!! (I am not kidding!)

First things first
Airport #159
I wonder if I can make it there
We swung back into the waters and then banked left to cross into the island from the south side. We will make it to the airport which is on the north. Just as we crossed into the island, I could see this great beach (near the center of the picture). There seems to be vast expanse of cerulean waters. the approach seems to be dirt road. I am going to scan the south coast on Google maps and see if I can spot that particular place and go there.
It would be an Aqaba kind of moment. While on a trip to India, I had shown Sharmila the town of Aqaba and its beaches as we flew south of Israel and Jordan. Months later, we actually went there and checked out the sky from where we would have looked down to the spot we were standing!
