Jo’s Monday Walk Challenge: Up the hill, and back along the beach front.

If we need to buy just a few groceries, we go for a walk up to the village. So, it’s turn right out of the gate, across the road, and then up the steep hill which is very good for the calf muscles and the heart rate.

Past the Coral Tree.

Past the tall banana palms that screen this mansion which overlooks the ocean.

Pause at the top to catch your breath and congratulate yourself, before carrying on.

This house with it’s tin roof peeping above the high wall, has no kerb appeal whatsoever, but commands a great view of the ocean.

This one across the road, is far more attractive, but like all the others, looks as secure as Fort Knox.

We’re soon into the village, and make our purchases.

Her’s a lovely scene in the optometrist’s window.

Looking at all these ladies lined up, you could be forgiven for thinking this was something other than just the local dress boutique.

Maybe you’d like to buy a friendly giraffe instead?

Or a lovely work of art to hang on your wall? You really wouldn’t like these prices though.

Then it’s down the hill to the beach promenade.

All the things you can and can’t do, are shown here.

We won’t go on the pier today, as we have to get back home before the butter melts.

The lighthouse is having a fly past by some advertising banner.

A perfectly peaceful way to spend a morning.

This lady has found a very comfortable back rest.

What a great place to sit and read the newspaper.

These ladies certainly won’t be needing any sunscreen.

The beach vendor is a man of many hats.

This guy could do with a bit of sunscreen on his back.

Can you see the face on this huge rock? He doesn’t look too friendly.

The stroller brigade are out in force today.

One more hilly bit, and we’re almost there.

Then it’s just a walk through the park and a wave to the monkey on the climbing frame, and we’re back home.

I hope you enjoyed your walk with me. To see more entries for Jo’s challenge, and also join her one her Monday walk this week, just click here.
