Finally, I get a message that the boat is leaving at 3:00am – yes, that is AM… so I figured I would pass the time back at the beach…

Driving through Douglas, on my way to the glorious bnb in which I was staying…

…and upon my arrival, find Laurence had arranged for flowers to be in my room to greet me…  After such a long couple of days, that made me feel ever so special…

…and now for some much needed sleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeep……………..
