I don't know where to start really but everything so far has proven to be top notch here in Antigua. The anchorage in Freemans bay in English harbor is excellent. We are anchored in a turquoise aquarium and we're able to take a refreshing swim in crystal clear water every morning or night or whenever we prefer. The water is perfect for snorkeling and thousands of fish and corals can be found in rainbows all colors, just under our hull. There are giant turtles swimming around the boats here and sometimes they pop up their head just next to you and first they scare the shit out of you and then makes you bubble with happiness. The nature of what we have seen so far is extraordinary. Green and lush vegetation, palm trees mixed with cactuses, limestone hills overlooking the dramatically beautiful waterfront, the hills where thousands of goats stroll around freely. Donkeys are walking on the streets. Graceful hens chasing each other in the gardens. Hummingbirds are flying above your head. Frog lizards and green tree lizards stroll around on every tree if you study them closely enough. There are 365 beaches on this small island and of the five we've seen so far, they seem to get better for each and everyone of them. The georgian architecture of dockyards and buildings are perfectly kept from past times and there is a comfortable ambiance everywhere as the nature, the style and design of facilities, the local people and the beautiful sea with the ever so calming trade-winds makes for an excellent mixture and they all seem to be living in perfect harmony.

Every time we stroll around in town I receive this immense feeling of balance. Just like all that is needed is here and that everything is perfectly woven into each other. The local people are welcoming and friendly. They seem to be enjoying their own lives fully, and who wouldn't if they were living on this beautiful island, while they also appear to appreciate visitors. You will find a great mixture of upscale dining and luxurious facilities, bars and restaurants and would you prefer to kick back with a beer in flip flops, there are great places for subtle enjoyment as well. The greatest testimonial so far must be the fact that I have brought the camera with me every day and night while we've been dining, walking, partying and exploring and I still haven't shot more than just a very few pictures. We just have had too much fun and enjoyed ourselves way too much for me to destroy the moments with photographing. Aaah, we really needed to see this after our light disappointment with Martinique. We love it so much here that we most probably will we be staying here for at least one more month. So many beaches and restaurants and hotels and bars and locations and forests and waters to discover. Thank you Antigua for being such a wonderful place. 

I'll show you more pictures very soon. /T

I love you guys. When it comes to hair and bikinis, you're commenting and "liking" like never before. Maybe I should stop posting pictures of interesting animals, the beautiful nature in which we live, the life aboard a sailing boat and on the sea and the philosophies around it all - they don't seem to affect you half as much. LOL. /T

So how did my hair end up, you ask. Blonde? Ha! I can't really define the shade of it. Orange? carrot? yellow? gold? It is something very reminiscent of my washed out Dolce&Gabbana bikini which I'm wearing on the picture, that's all I know. They suit each other well. My torn bleached hair and the old sunburnt bikini which has a couple of salty seasons behind now. I kind of like it. It's not what I wanted really and it is still quite far from my natural color, but at least the overall tone is a bit more even. And it is definitely much more fun than the black versus blonde I had to deal with for some days ago. I think I'll keep it like this for some weeks and let the sun do the rest of the job before I put the last tone of light brown/ash blonde into it to get back to my natural shade. All these treatments have weakened my hair drastically so it's now time for it to rest for a while. And OK OK, I'll stop talking about my hair now. Maybe. /T
