Adventure: Jost Van Dyke, BVI, featuring the Bubbly Pool and White Bay

Posted by IrieDiva on Feb 8, 2012 in BVI | 1 comment

Sundays have become adventure day while I’m here in the BVI and I am hoping we won’t run out of places to visit any time soon! This past Sunday saw us heading to the island of Jost Van Dyke. Mr. Irie was a little hesitant as he kept saying “there’s nothing to do there” what with a population of about 200 people on the island. But I had done my research and my itinerary was packed as I am well aware by now that he makes a sucky tour guide! They say the island is the same size as Manhattan but I can guarantee you that is where any similarities end. We kept running out of road and made several u-turns! But I am getting ahead of myself, lets start from the moment we got on the ferry!

Trellis Bay Fireball Full Moon Party

The full moon is apparently a big deal here in the BVI. Why? I didn’t question it, any reason you give me to party, I nod my head and shake my groove thing. So every month, twice in a blue moon, there’s a party happening to celebrate the full moon at various locations. This month I decided to check out the party at Trellis Bay. Their’s is a fireball party as there’s a pretty awesome artist who does pretty awesome art at his studio and gallery in Trellis Bay and his signature piece is a copper fireball with stories cut out in the ball. Every full moon, these copper structures are lit up and become the centerpiece of the party. The artist’s name is Aragorn and I think he deserves his own post as his stories and his work is pretty awesome so for now I’ll just focus on the party. There was promise of an awesome buffet and local entertainment so we headed out expecting a fun-filled evening. 

Life’s precious moments…

What do you do when your almost 2 year old munchkin wakes from a nap at 6:45pm? You take her out dancing of course! My new friend here in the BVI suggested we come on by a beach bar where they “serve excellent barbecue” and where her boyfriend plays in a band. After being in the house all day, I suggested this to hubby and he obliged so we headed on out after dinner. The barbecue did indeed smell excellent and we have to go back one day when we’re famished but my apple and bacon topped baked chicken was still hitting its dougie in our tummies so we passed on the BBQ and ordered up some drinks.

The Baths at Virgin Gorda, BVI

Posted by IrieDiva on Dec 27, 2011 in BVI, Family | 2 comments

Hey guys! I’m in the British Virgin Islands and slowly doing all the touristy things. I was looking forward to visiting the Baths since my twitter pal commented on it when I mentioned coming here. Quite a few of my friends know very little about the BVI so I’ll drop in a little map here for y’all.

So, all of them lil islands comprise the BVI and we’re in Road Town, Tortola. Lots to explore! We’ll get to it all. For our trip to the Baths, we ferried over to Virgin Gorda and started with a tour around the island.
