Now that I have been in the condo for almost a week, I figure I am a bit more grounded and can probably find my way around - at least within a kilometer. We live in the Parish of St. George's on the far eastern edge and southern side of the island. The condominium estate is located on the shores of Convict Bay. I am surrounded by streets that reflect a nautical and military past: Barracks Hill, Blockade Alley, and sometimes there is even a piratical flair like Pieces of Eight Lane and Shinbone Alley. Not sure where the criminal content comes into play, but will do some research.
The condo itself is on the second floor and even though there are townhouses in front of us, we have a gorgeous view of the bay from both the main bedroom and the living room. It has been the highlight of my day to wake up in the morning and open curtains and shutters, and step out onto a balcony overlooking the sea.
We probably have about 1200 sq feet of space altogether - two bedrooms, two bathrooms, a kitchen, and a living/dining room. The interior could do with some modernization and maintenance, and the furniture, although functional, is not exactly Home and Garden. But who am I to complain - the view alone makes it all worthwhile. And the winter temperature is more than bearable at 21 degrees Celsius today.
There is also a wharf to walk on just 50 steps from the condo and a quiet, sandy beach for residents. Can't wait to watch grandchildren splashing about in the sea and sand.
Till next time.
Have fun exploring, a new and exciting time, its making me feel jealous. I can smell the salt air in the photos Hugs Sheila.
