christmas eve-St Vincent, day 2

well i had slept like a baby being rocked to sleep by the waves, it was a beautiful sunny morning and it was soo great to be in summer pjs!
i met the rest of the gang which consisted of, deb, marc, sandy, yosi, cynthia and myself!
sandy, cynthia and i caught the taxi down down kingstown to get some supplies for the boat, knowing it was xmas eve we knew it would be busy but i never thought id almost die in a supermarket!it was crazy in there, everyone on that island was out shopping today, getting run over by trollies, cars and almost getting hit head on by traffic! we saw 3, 3 car pile ups wihtin 2 hrs of being in town they are maniac drivers, people hanging out the back of utes, 30 people jammed into a 12 seater mini van which were the island buses. i couldnt believe it. then we went to the markets hoping to get some fruit and veges, we were the only white people and i mean white cos i havent seen the sun in a while, some little islander kid about 8 years old with a trolly yells out "ay nigga your too white to come in here" i was really scared, then all the islander boys were checking me out offering to help me shop! it was definately a culture shock from that downtown experience. whoa!
we then went to a nice bar on the water, had some lunch and a lethal rum punch! Dinner required a ferry to get to a smaller island to this restaurant where we ate in little private huts, we also managed to get into an argument with the waitress over the menu. we thought it was a simple request but obviously not, and of all the adults there i managed to explain the situation to the manager in a very mature way and got it all sorted, go me!
so we got our water taxi back to the main island and off to sleep to wait for santa!woooo
