Day 2

We woke this morning to cool but fine weather and no wind. We think perhaps we are being lulled into a false sense of security regarding the weather. We meet some local people this evening and they told us about just how strong the wind can get. Park towards the west they said,  and watch out for your car doors in really windy weather or you will loose them. Sounds like the wind chill factor will be an issue to consider when venturing out on a bad day.
Went out in the work vehicle with Mark to the grocery store and decided these Islands are bigger than I thought they would be. Driving is different with some stretches of road that are single lane and some that are two lanes. There are passing bays on the single stretches that you can dive into at the appropriate place when you meet another vehicle coming the other way. It pays to scan ahead for approaching cars. I managed to whip up a coconut cake for this evenings visitors which actually tasted pretty good. Still getting over jet lag so struggling to stay awake  much past 9pm.
