Turks and Caicos

Amazing, powder soft, white sand beaches, crystal clear turquoise water and friendly people make Turks and Caicos a true island destination.  Also known to the locals as TCI.  It is picture perfect…just like a postcard.

I stayed at Nikki Beach Hotel, which is known to be a party hotel.  Also staying there were members of the Olympic volleyball team including the Gold Medalist Phil Daulhauser.  I walked over to watch them play volleyball on the beach and before long they wanted me to come and join them.  I’m terrible at Volleyball so I was a little embarrassed and didn’t really want to join in but how often do will I get a chance to play like this ever again?!?!  So, I decided…what the heck and jumped in.  After a few pointers, I surprised myself at how well I actually did!!!

I went to The Conch Shack, which is a famous local hang out.  And was surprised to see all my Volleyball friends were there as well.  There is a ritual they do there where everyone has to try a conch “pistol”.  It is a long clear tube that is actually the penis of a conch.  They pull out the tube and some one of the opposite sex has to feed it to you.  It is supposed to be an aphrodisiac but I’m not so sure about that.  If you are lucky, it slides down your throat in one swallow and you don’t actual chew it or taste it.  If you are like me…it gets caught half way down and your gag reflexes start to engage…but I was rescued by a shot of rum punch.  Before long we were all playing limbo.

Horseback riding on the beach in Turks and Caicos was absolutely amazing!!!!  It was like a scene from a movie and was one of the top things on my bucket list.  My horse named “Cowboy” loved wading through the water…and so did I.  I think the picture says it all.

We had a rainy day and we decided to visit the cultural center.  It was an educational and fun experience.  I learned how to play the Rickshaw and blow into a conch shell.  I visited a local medicine man and tried some really gross concoctions.  Then the local dancers came out and demonstrated their countries dance and song.  They dressed me up in the national outfit, taught me the dance and song, which is all about the conch shell.

Snuba=kinda like a mix between scuba and snorkel.  This is the perfect alternative for me because although I’m scuba certified, I’m still a little uncomfortable about it.  This allowed me to go down 20 feet and see tropical fish but even more excitingly…I saw a SEA TURTLE!!!!!

The last thing I did before I left Turks and Caicos was a photo shoot…I couldn’t resist taking advantage of that amazing scenery.

I think TCI had it all…beauty, adventure, culture and partying.
