So what to do, after a successful hard and long day? Best idea: relax on the beach. So off the team went, down to the beach for a sundowner. We really deserved this. Selina and Sarah decided to go for a swim, while I went for a little hike to enjoy the scenery from the cliffs. Luckily, we were in time for happy hour at Roys’ , so that meant some wine for Selina and Sarah, and I decided on something special. So I wanted a “Dark and Stormy”, I always like them, but I only found out on that day, that the dark and stormy is with ginger beer rather than ginger ale. Never knew there was a difference between ginger beer and ginger ale. So I opted for the captain’s rum with ginger ale rather than a dark and stormy. I think I prefer the ginger ale. Anyways, there was not much ginger ale, generally they fill the glass here with 2/3 of rum, and one third of ginger ale.
So Selina wanted to have some decent seafood, we decided to go to Tasty’s restaurant, even though it was only 5:30.
We were the first! And we thought, it was still closed – but, far from that, there was a film crew making a film about Anguilla and the places to go. As we were so early and the first victims, they said we would be fantastic to be in the film. So we sat at the bar, I had the microphone, and we had to order our cocktails. Imagine me, just having had this strong rum and ginger ale, which is not a dark and stormy, and now a cocktail… This little camera was on rails and wheels behind us, and they had this funny light umbrella on the left and we even had to talk. But what is easier than ordering a cocktail? So I chose a Cosmopolitan Martini, Sarah went for a simple Buck Fizz (orange juice and champagne and something red- grenadine?), Which they call here at Mimosa, and Selina had the a deadly Long Island Iced Tea. And then we were watching Hilly, the bartender, to mix our cocktails. On film. I was a bit disappointed, because he did not throw the cocktail shaker and did a little dance. I have seen that on TV. But the cocktail was fantastic. And the rest of the night was a little bit of a blur for me. I guess Selina as well. But after all, again, we are on TV! Next time will charge and anybody wants an autograph, just tell us! We shall soon have a fanclub and please apply to Sarah if you want to be our manager 😉
Finally we get to order food and we thought we had escaped the TV crew, it is hard to be such a celebrity, but still they came back, and filmed us on our table.
The food was excellent, had an amazing seafood pasta, Selina had a huge lobster, all for herself (I always think lobsters are so hard work to eat) and I don’t remember what Sarah had. I was just too far away was my Cosmopolitan Martini. Somehow I got back to my bed and slept. What an exciting day!
