Friday was a fairly long day, night for me. It started meeting Amy and John at Deia Beach for lunch and drinks. It was great we. had a lovely day. Sebastian made a great friend and played in the pool for about 5 hours and the six of us had a great time. The music, the vibe and the service were all excellent. The price too shocked me, I was quite concerned the bill would be triple. It was a good day.
On Thursday we had a full day of surfing, beach and then a tour of my cousin Vicki's rum distillery. The surf was rough, harder waves than we have ever been on, with rocks everywhere. We did well, Sebastian was the best, I was so impressed with how brave he was out there. Christian, an old friend of mine, runs the surf school and he was perfect (and his 1000 perfect reviews on trip advisor confirms this!). We then had a few hours at pebbles before heading to Vicki and Hottie's to have a tour of their distillery. It was impressive, it had come a long way since I had been there last and they are now offering tours to the public. We then got the extra treat of Vicki's cooking and an amazing vegan chili.
Tuesday Jace came over again and Sebastian and him had a sleep over. It was Sebastian's first non family sleep over. There were one or two touchy moments in the 24 hours but over all they had the best time. Sebastian was very excited to have him. We went to Tikki Bar in the day, then Carib and ended at Mimosa for dinner.
Monday we got up early and headed down to board Cool Runnings. It was pouring rain and it did not look promising. But the weather cleared and we had an amazing day. The snorkeling, swimming, eating, and Sebastian even brought his new best buddy. We all ad a great time!
Sebastian's birthday is also a great way to get loads of family and friends together in both Ecuador and Barbados. As it can be a bit rainy I decided to move it from the beach to Craig's house and rent a slide. But the Vicki said we could have it at Brighton Beach, so lucky Sebastian got a slide, pool, beach and the most amazingly sunny day. I scoured Barbados for small kids and ended up getting four which was fabulous. He also made a new best buddy, so I am hoping we can see him loads in the next two weeks. It was a great party with great people. Sebastian is one lucky boy.
