Day 4 - Ardastra Gardens, Cricket and Cabbage Beach

Saturday began with a disappointment - we had set 3 alarms to wake ourselves up to take the ferry to Harbor Island - to see the pink sand beaches. But on reaching Potters Cay we found that the ferry was full and we had no luck on getting in as stand-bys.



With the plan for the whole day being shot, we now had a challenge to make lemonade out of the lemons we had been handed. We started by going back to the hotel and partaking the breakfast. Once fed, we decided to check out the Ardastra Gardens and Zoo - home of the famous parading flamingoes. We got there just in time to see the flamingo parade. And after strolling around for some time we got a pleasant surprise - we were going to feed apples to the parrots. The parrot feeding was so much fun - I just couldn't get enough of how comfortably they just went chomp-chomp (thats the correct technical term) on the apples.



We then took a jitney ride to the ground where the local cricket clubs played their matches over the weekend. It was a pleasure watching cricket sitting in the fielding teams pavilion - listening to the lively beer fueled conversation of the spectators.



In the evening we found our way back to Cabbage beach - after a long walk along the beach, we settled near the familiar spot from a couple of days ago. Here we saw a wedding from start to finish - a small ceremony with live music (3 violinists) and barefoot guests. We waited a little longer this time - till the sunset.
