That's what we did today. Truely!
It was a mission to get to the training, about 30 minutes by cab into rural sugar cane land to see arrogant cricketers chuck a ball around. You'd think they were inundated with media and fans they way one of them acted but in fact it was two media (just us!!) and seven local boys watching. There's a word for the unnecessary behaviour of one of our cricketers but this is a family blog. I should report it but I've been reading the stick Chris Barclay has been getting and its a bit early in proceedings to be blacklisted here...
Most interesting thing was the security man with the machine gun and full armour on. Scary stuff. I took a picture of Simon taking a picture but it may not be that clear here. I'm apparently not that handy with a lens.
Luckily we got to cool off in the pool later at the bar, which is one and the same. You swim up to to order and swim around with your beer. Mmmm. Local brew called Banks, (not "Blacks" and one should be careful with ones words when ordering)!!!!
Out for dinner, what a rort. $US40 for a steak, which is about $NZ60. Mind you i haven't seen any cows around which might explain that.
Hoping to conquer the age old jet lag prob tonight. Have been up since 3am today, walk on the beach at dawn was pretty spectacular though!!! A 6am the sea was as warm as a bath.
That's the Caribbean Sea. In the Caribbean. Which is where we are busy "working".
Its a tough world....
