A Beer, a Shot and Moving Again, Day 10

Today was a fun day. I started the day off by writing a blog post and taking care of a couple e-mails. After that was done I spent some time looking at boats online and researching a couple that peaked my interest. Then I went downstairs to let my host know that a few of the outlets in the apartment I was in were not working. We ended up chatting while we waited for his electrician to get there to address the issue. Once the issue was resolved (a bad breaker), we all had a couple beers and a shot to celebrate the holiday weekend, St. Maarten Day. A bit later it was time for me to move back to the place I had originally booked on airbnb. I must admit I wanted to stay where I was but the fact that I needed a rental car reminded me that it was time to go.  I said my goodbyes and loaded up the car.

Upon arrival to the place I had booked on Pelican Key  I was given a very large set of keys and my host showed me what they all went to. He is very security conscious and all the locks are keyed differently. My room as it turns out is the original master suite for the place and it has a great view and even a private veranda with a couple chairs. The bathroom is also huge and pretty well appointed its rather obvious that when this place was built it was very luxurious.

Oh look, a real bidet

I got settled in and went to return my rental car. After that I went to "The Soggy Dollar" and had some drinks at happy hour. I also went by the Yacht club for a few and then it was time to find dinner. I had heard about a German restaurant  that was not too far away and I went to check it out. The special of the night was Beef Stroganoff and it was delicious. I ended up sitting with the owner and chatting with her while I enjoyed my supper. After dinner I made the long walk back up the hill on Pelican key and called it a night. 

This used to be a bar, I believe it was called "The Pink Iguana" another Irma Victim.
