Last few days on Provo…

Grand Slam BoatOh, it surely has been busy those last few weeks (whenever is it not here)- and we are supposed to be in the laid back Caribbean! In the last two weeks we had two community meetings, one in Five Cays, our fishing based community, and one in the Bight/ Turtle Cove area, our tourism based community. It was great to meet people that we had met in interviews or generally around before, and to say good bye and thank you. Especially the Five Cays community meeting had a great attendance, and we had great help from our local translators Chaly and Joseph!

Goergie and Katharine went on the Haitian radio, and TV teams came to both community meetings!

On Saturday, June 22nd (I know, it is quite a few days ago now) we went out for a fantastic evening to see the TCI Battle of the Bands. Great music, great people, dancing and fun!

Then we had to say goodbye to Georgie, and there were only three of us left, “mopping” up the last interviews, doing another radio interview with DJ Viper, the Five Cays community meeting and the sad part, saying good bye to all the lovely people we had met over the past two months!

It were a busy two weeks, but at the same time very successful!

On our final day Sarah and I managed to go on a snorkeling trip, and it was definitely the best snorkeling experience I ever had: I saw 2 sharks (one nurseshark and one reefshark), reef-squid, a big lobster (and he was really big!!) and loads of other fish and creatures! We went diving for conch in the shallow and had fresh conch salad on Iguana island! What a great finish to our time in Providenciales (as we did not even manage to go diving even once!)
