Mark Dillon was born and brought up in Montreal, Canada. Fifteen years back, he came to Turks and Caicos and decided to move permanently. He brought his family here, started doing lots of different work to earn a livelihood (like construction work) and then eventually made enough money to start his own Italian restaurant called Lupo.

According to Mark, he works here harder in terms of hours than before but the pace of island life makes a very big difference in how much he enjoys it.

His son who is going to school here and his wife helps him out in the restaurant. Sharmila and I spent two evenings at his bar!

If you ever come to this end of the world, do pay a visit to him. He has some great stories to narrate.

As if the right hand steering and left hand drive was not enough… The cars have speedometers in kmph, but the posted speed limits are in mph. And they do not mention that they are in mph. I had to google it to realize it.

A vacation is never a vacation without making friends with new strangers. Had a great chat with Christine who has moved to Middle Caicos from the Philippines. Always great to hear stories of how far people will travel to live their dreams!

You remember from the previous picture how much the sand was giving in. And then suddenly, in the middle of the beach, there is this formation. Almost like a cliff of sand. How do you explain that?

You would expect the cliff to have broken down and be like a gentle smooth slope. The rest of the beach was. Just in this portion there was this cliff. To test out whether there were rocks underneath, I started breaking down one small portion of the cliff at the end. There was nothing other than sand. The sand there did feel a little more wet.

Why this complete anomaly in the geographical formation?

Can anybody help me?

Look at the amount the sand kept giving every time we stepped on it. My toes dug in about 4 inches.

Note how the waves are coming in from two opposing directions to her

The seem to exist to separate out the deep blue waters from the sky blue waters.

There are very beautiful beaches at the bottom but I do not think they are accessible other than by boats.
