Beautiful sand, perfect waters and not another human being. The seaweed was an eye sore, though!

Reminded us so much of Coco di Mama Beach, The sand you see on the other side is Parrot Cay. You can pretty much walk on the sandbars (and maybe swim in spurts of ten yards) and reach the private island. Some of Hollywood’s who’s who own properties there or stays there often.

Needless to say, we stayed on this side of the sandbars.

Beautiful azure waters, one long straight road with vegetation on either side growing on hard rock!

Off to yet another bright colored compact car with the steering wheel and driving on the “other” side!!

Off to explore North Caicos and Middle Caicos

Great sand, great waters. Coral Gardens Reef right on the beach. Still no snorkeling gear 🙁

Another riot of blue colors.

We wanted to try some snorkeling but it was a very private beach. There was nobody renting out or selling snorkeling gear.

After our successful trip to Sapodilla Bay, we had become very hungry. Found that the only one Indian restaurant in Provo was literally a kilometer away from us while we were driving. It is called SJ Curry Club. Not sure why, some of the best Indian restaurants I have found are in the Caribbean! Remember Indian Summer in Nevis?

The food was incredibly good. It is difficult to differentiate yourself on yellow dal but SJ absolutely nailed it. Sharmila thinks it was the lemon zest that gave it the uniqueness.

Got to know the owner and his wife. But the highlight was getting to know their two daughters. When we entered, the two kids – Neha and Sudha – were sitting in a corner table playing games. After I tried some of my long lost Tamil on them, they were at our table.

Specially, the younger one – Sudha. The entire time I had my lunch, she kept me entertained with one story after the other.

They invariably started with “Can I tell you something? It is a secret!”

Again, as I have always maintained, the best part of vacations for me are the natural sights and the local people. Never been into long dead people… the living ones energize me so much!

The deal I have with Geo is that when he starts his water scooter business, he will let me serve at his beach bar. Or when he goes to visit his family in Bahama. For the longest time, I have thought that it would be a dream job for me to do for a couple of years.

I passed his test when he showed me a bottle and asked if I knew what it was. (It was Mamajuana)
