A budget breaker

I'm not sure I've talked about me being a tight arse with budgets yet? It's my finance background...but poor Philippa has had to cope with 8 weeks of me writing down what we've spent each day. She's humoured me in this and tried to appear interested.

Anyway update for you - we've spent £2,300 so far this trip - not bad for 8 weeks doing lots of amazing things hey. Anyway because we've done so well last night there was no expense spared. We got a taxi to a place called Princesca de la Isla - a small guesthouse run by an Italian couple on the island. The taxi was an adventure in itself - half of it was along the beach. The sun was putting on a great show when we got there - and in keeping with the no expense spared we had Gin & Tonics, sat on a log and watched the sun do it's light show for us. Our chef was busy preparing our four courses ( crucially for Philippa one of these involved cheese) which was accompanied by a beautiful Italian white wine, a mosquito coil and a table on the beach.

A cracker of a Caribbean evening, a very well spent $40
