We made the short walk from the resort to Pigeon Island around 10AM. We paid our $5 per person to get into the national park and started hiking up the hill. There was of course a wedding going on (7/7/07 being a popular date) with lots of steel drums playing as we made our ascent. We decided to tackle the taller hill first and got some great pictures since it’s the highest point around. The other hill had an 18th century military base on top complete with cannons.
On the trek back we bought some souvenirs from local vendors. Rebecca got the hematite necklace she’d been eyeing. Amazing how everyone has no problem taking American currency even though they’re technically on the Eastern Caribbean Dollar.
We checked out a couple of kayaks and paddled out for a bit right before lunch. While I’m glad we did it, and those things are really maneuverable, there wasn’t really any place to paddle to. So after we got our kayak fix we ate lunch at the Barefoot by the Sea café and laid around until volleyball at 3:30ish. 
Dinner was an elaborate outdoor buffet at Bayside (the restaurant, not the High School of ‘Saved by the Bell’). I’m not sure if I’ve ever had steak, pork, pasta, and seafood chowder all in one meal before! Soon after that we headed to the Palladium dance hall for the much talked about Karaoke Night. John and several other guys drunkenly belted out Pour Some Sugar on Me and Sweet Home Alabama. After a few gin and tonics and some beers Rebecca was able to drag me up to sing Love Shack with her. Luckily, my mike was somehow off so the crowd was spared really hearing me sing.
