Day 4 - The Beaches

Today we lounged around the pool in the morning.

We wanted to go see the famous beaches, most notably 'The Baths'.

We debated to call a taxi or rent a car, but settled on renting a car, we were not sure what it took to qualify to rent a vehicle in British Virgin Gorda. Well it turns out not much. The rental company had the car dropped at the Leverick bay hotel just down the street. I went down, they gave me the keys and said stop in at the rental place about 20 mins away, when I get a chance to pay and fill out the paper work. The never asked for my license, can you drive a standard, or anything else....what a hoot. I guess you are not going to leave the island with the car. So we rented a mini safari vehicle, basically a Toyota pickup with benches and a Bimini top. So off we went, driving on the left going up hills that are as steep as anything you will see in San Francisco.

Bob and Ed gave us directions.

We first stopped at Savannah Beach, it really was awesome, crystal blue, warm, lots of fish it was great for snorkeling.

We then went to The Baths, it was pretty spectacular, there are huge boulders everywhere, they formed caves which you can hike through.

 So we took the hike into the caves which makes its way to a small cove called Devil's Beach, again spectacular. We went swimming again and it was 'awesome' as Bob would say.

We then made our way back up to The Bath's restaurant, where we had a great lunch.

We ended our day with a boat ride to Saba Rock Resort, where we had dinner. Saba Rock is basically a very small island that has a hotel and restaurant, it is only accessible by boat, all the yachters show up in their dingy's. On the ride back to Leverick bay, there was a large Yacht, our driver asked if that was ours, we said no, then Ed said, ours is around the point and much larger, I don't think he bought it but it was good for a laugh.
