OK, now I am trying to keep up but struggling!

Here comes Tuesday the 31st. Golf! There are a lot of local critters on the course. They warn about crocs but I don’t think there are any as the water is shallow and fairly still, I keep looking though.



We have also walked the beach a lot. It’s about 2.5 km to the Coronado Beach Club. They have cabanas and chairs on the beach with service. Easy to while away the day reading, playing in the Pacific and having cocktails in the sun or shade.





There is also the Bahia beach bar about halfway between home and Coronado. I good place to revive from the strain of the long arduous trek through the scorching sand…..phew! We weren’t able to make it around the point as the tide was coming in. Jane was mortally injured on the rocks and I had to carry her all the way home. Well not really, she tore a toenail that hobbled her some she will survive.

We got her foot looked after and got ready to party. We had reservations at Hawaii Bar. The party was OK but the music was not really party music, more dinner music. We stayed a while and played some games with a couple we met then headed home, after watching the bar fireworks of course. We played a few more game in our apartment as it faces town and the beach. The fireworks started about 10 to midnight, there were plenty of intermittent ones all evening, then continued for over half an hour. They were everywhere! The entire horizon was popping! Happy New Year! Felix Anos Nuevo!

 There is a lot to see at the southern most tip of North America. Christmas is big here, lots of decorations using pine bow garland but I haven’t seen any pine trees so it must just be tradition. Lots of churches too, quite a few have been repurposed though, like the one above. We did make a little faux pas at the Southernmost Point. We walked up, waited till the people there took their picture then we took our sand left. It was only then that we noticed the line up down the street waiting to take pictures. OOPS! Happened to watch a funeral as well. All the streets blocked off to the church and police everywhere. It was the wife of some newly elected politician so lots of pomp and security. It was reminiscent of a New Orleans funeral only fewer bands.  Last day in the Keys then onto the boat tomorrow!

 We did another road trip on the 23rd. ( We are a little behind on our posts, busy few days). We decided to try to go to Punta Chame. We were told that the road was terrible but thought we could try it and turn around if it was too bad. It was slow, the road did have some large potholes(but what road here doesn’t) and some construction but otherwise a pretty easy drive. I could say ‘I could have driven a school bus through there’. Pretty little town, fairly isolated, lots of fishing boats. What else would you do here. A number of resorts with one very large one, Playa Caricol Residences and Beach Club. Really big and very new. Us, being plebeians hung at the Surf Shack for a bit. It’s right beside the resort and much more regular. Cold beer is cold beer! If you look hard you can see some kite surfers in the second pic. Instead of just heading home I decided to see where the road went. Not too long a track but it ended right at the tip of the point. It was completely deserted. You c...

A Bit About Irish Golf Courses

Image
 We have all heard about how wonderful the golf courses are in Ireland and Scotland. At this time I can only comment on Ireland but hope to be able to add Scotland soon. The first premise of this golf trip was to play smaller more local courses that cost €50 or less per person. Since our experience and research shows that rental clubs per round, if the have them and they are usable, tend to be as costly as the round itself. We have rented clubs long term in Portugal and found a service in Ireland that met our needs. We rented our clubs for the entire time in Ireland from a company called Clubstohire. The website is www.clubstohire.com   The clubs were delivered to us at the car rental station at Dublin airport by Billy, amiable young man with good information. The clubs were high quality and suited us well. I should have ordered a club between fairway 3 wood and 5 hybrid but that was my failure not theirs and I managed.  The first course was Roundwood Golf Club in county ...
