After leaving the restaurant – we went back to the apartment at Gateway. It was still warm, and I wasn’t feling hundreds yet, but we caught a taxi to town to see what was happening.
We walked around looking at shops and around Port Zante to see where we are going to board the ship. There was some cool pirate stuff in some of the souvenir stores that we’ll probably go back to check out again before we leave. There were also a few luxury cruisers in the harbour which looked mighty playful, but cos of security we couldn’t get much closer. There was also a Carnival Cruise liner parked in the harbour. One of the shop owners said that it was leaving shortly – and we saw it set sail! He also said that there are about 14-18 cruise liners a month that stop in St Kitts – which is apparently quite low?
We decided to rather chow tacos with mince and stuff back at the apartment and spent the evening watching tv, preparing for the SA vs Scotland game today.
Waking up this morning we sort of just woke up around 8ish and slowly got our things together for the game. We caught the taxi with the other people staying here at Gateway which worked our quite nicely. Some of the Scottish were wearing kilts and the full battle gear – that must have been warm! Also – they had SERIOUSLY PINK FEET!!!!! Someone must really tell them about sunscreen!
At the game we parked off in the usual spot – this time next to some aussies. Lets just say – aussies are a strange breed. Some of them at the game were wearing really short shorts, and they were rubbing sunscreen on each other! We sort of kept quite and minded our own business. But – in spite of this – half of them were also SUPER pink!
Anyways… for some reason Scotland batted first, and posted a score of about 187/7 (cant remember the exact details) in the 50 overs. We came it pretty quickly, and inspite of the rain in the 19th over – we came back to beat them in just 23overs! But – in the last 4 or 5 overs of the match – the bar ran out of rum, so we moved on to vodka and 7UP. Let me just say – they pout the vodka a lot heavier than the rum!
We also spoke to some guys who were out from St Martin watching the game. They are the crew on a ship called the Fortunate Sun – which is about 180ft! They said it’s a private boat, and this was the first day they had off since Jan 22, and the only people using the oat have been the family of the owner. He wouldn’t let us know who the guy was, but at 180ft – he must be worth a fortune. We reckon it may be one of the CCR guys cos of the name? He said we can check it out on Yachtspotters.com
After the game we stuck around to finish our drinks… The SA team came back out on to the field, and played some soccer, and kicked the ball AT each other. We were too far away to get any decent pictures – but it was funny!
We merrily left the stadium and went to the dutch pub again, and had a drink, but it wasn’t too festive, so we went looking for more. We ended up at Subway to get a 12” sandwich each and then caught a taxi home. Didn’t seem like much point in staying in town since we’re going to Nevis tomorrow for a 20/20 match and hopefully to play a good game of beach cricket!
We’re back in the apartment now, about to head to the restaurant now to post some stuff…and hopefully more photos.
