Acadeny Bay

Well we finally got the port captain on board , checked the boat in and were able to get ashore to strech our legs and have a walk around. The water taxis run a 24/7 service so there is no need to launch the dinghy. the main pier is wonderful and makes a lovely arrival area for those comming ashore by boat.

As you get to the root of the jetty there is a squal where the locals get to gether each evening and play three aside volleyball. This seems to be a challenge game where the winner takes all as they play against each other for money.


The tourist area along the main streets is neat and the buidings mix from modern




 with some interesting designs to older need a bit of paint ones. the backstreets have plenty of buildings under construction with the people build a litte and then waiting to carry onat a later date. Many of these are being used but with steel rods sticking out all over for the next storey etc. Generall the town is clean and the roads good.


The next place that we visit almost daily is the fish market where the fishing boats tie up. The sea lions are there to get what they can and compete with the birds. Some of the pelicans occassionally get up on the table and steal a whole fish when they get the opportunity.



Excuse sir..... can I please have some fish?





The local swimming hole....






 The front street is all aimed at the tourist and so are the prices. However as soon as you venture down the back streets you enter  the locals territory where you get a good meal or services for a fraction of the price you would pay along the front roads.
