Roger's Cat-cruises - AWESOME!!!

 Well we finally got to snorkel in the 2nd best snorkeling spot in the world!  It was awesome!!!  I did some research in snorkel tours and came across Roger.  He owns a Catamaran and does tours.  We went on a 5 hour tour.  (Not the 3 hour tour like Gilligan. lol)  We started out in Gibson Bight and sailed NE through Anthony Key Resort and out to a reef.  We snorkeled out to the reef, over the reef and back.  It was incredible, I only wish my underwater camera had been working.  Before we got to the reef Roger said the ocean floor drops down to over 100 ft deep.  We couldn't even see the bottom, it was eerie.  There were so many different varieties of coral and fish it was incredible.  We got back on the catamaran and then sailed SW past West End where we stopped for another snorkel round, here it was shallower and you could see different fish.  Then we sailed to Sandy Bay and dropped off the other couple (they must have had the 3 hour tour.) had Roger's famous Italian lunch - pasta with olives, tomatoes, capers, mozzarella cheese and olive oil.  Then we snorkeled at the end of Sandy Bay.  Marlon - was the 2nd mate - he brought a small bag of fried plantains and we fed it to the fish, in a few seconds we had a couple hundred small fish around us a few larger ones that I actually touched a few times - almost afraid they might bite my fingers.  It was an awesome experience.  After that we headed back to the dock.  I applied sunscreen 2 times at least, but still ended up burnt on the tops of my legs, back and arms.  It will be fun sleeping tonight!

 Oops, didn't realize it's been a whole year since I've posted last.   Well we we wanted to go to The Wok, but they didn't open until 12 and it was 11:20, so I didn't want to wait 40 minutes - we walked next door to the bakery to see if they offered anything for lunch.  They had a large lunch menu including soups, salads, burgers and salads.   The burger didn't mention french fries and since it was a bakery, I wasn't expecting big portions, so Greg ordered the burger and I ordered the pesto pasta salad and we were going to split each item.  Well we get our food and the burger is huge and it came with french fries, so we split his lunch and took mine home to eat for dinner.  Of course I had to nibble on the pasta first, it was delicious.

 This is a great place for all you coffee lovers.  They have a bunch of different coffee drinks and they sell their own roasted coffee for $16 a lb.    I don't drink coffee so the only reason we tried this place is Greg won a free lunch there.  He received a drink, sandwich and dessert from a radio contest.  Funny thing about the sandwich  - they only have 1 Yes that's right - 1 (ONE) sandwich.  It's a Panini and you have your choice of 1 meat and one cheese for $8.  You can add on extra meat for another $2 - I would recommend this.  The sandwich comes with meat, cheese and a mayo/pesto sauce.  That's it.  No lettuce, tomatoes or anything else. Greg said his iced coffee was good. Here is our Panini Sandwiches - we both ordered bacon: They have several different desserts from Carrot Cake, brownies and their homemade icecream.  They have 7 different flavors.  I forgot to take a picture of the menu, but they have a "Family Brownie Sundae" for $25.  I had to ask..

 Ok, I'm really sorry everyone.  I was told this was a Thai restaurant - turned out it was Sushi and Chinese food. lol  We are so glad we stopped.  They have the best fried rice I've had in years, maybe ever.  We ordered pork dumplings as appetizer and split an orange chicken plate.  The dumplings were tasty and had lots of pork, the orange chicken came with broccoli with sesame seeds sprinkled, the fried rice was light and fluffy with egg, onion and soy sauce mixed in.  They don't have a very big menu, sushi, stirfry options where you add proteins to rice, or noodles, we'll have to try that next.  We will definitely be back.
