Nov. 4, Monday:

Today we decided to head up the mountain to the overviews of Megan's Bay and up to Mountain Top.  We had off and on rain again, but it was a nice ride. 
Here's the view of Megan's Bay from Drake's Seat.

 Sir Francis Drake was supposed to have kept watch over his fleet and looked for enemy ships from this vantage point.

 Then we continued up the mountain to Mountain Top.

 This is a great place to go for souvenirs!  Huge selection and reasonable prices.  They advertise their great banana daiquiris, but we weren't in the mood for that.

After waiting out another rain squall, I was able to get another picture of Megan's Bay from the deck off Mountain Top. 

We had heard there was no snorkeling at Megan's, but it's rated so high for beautiful beaches that we wanted to check it out anyway.  There is a $4/person fee to enter the park, but there is plenty of room here and parking is close to the beach.  Since we were in a car, we were directed to the far left of the bay.  Cruise ship passengers are dropped off at the right side of the bay.

 Looked like we were going to get rained on again, but it didn't happen.

 The water was calm and inviting.

 Ken and I swam to the far left to check out the rocky area for an fish.  Saw this interesting bird along our way.

 Much to my surprise, we did see lots of fish at the far left side.  The whole rocky coastline there was covered with schools of little fish.

 There was even areas of soft coral with other small fish.

 I was fascinated with all the darting fish. 

 There had to be billions of them!

After an hour or so at Megan's, we decided to head out again.  On our way out of the park, we spotted a mongoose.

 Guess I should include a picture of one of the many iguanas we saw, too.

 We had read that Smith's Bay (Lindquist) was a great beach, too, so we decided to check it out.  There's an entrance fee here of $2/person, but the person collecting the fee wasn't there, so we drove on in.

 Snorkeling was a bit challenging.  Ken and I did finally find some small fish to the far right.

 There's a bit of a rock ledge here with some fish.

 Angie and Josh swam out past the buoys and waved me over there.  Turns out there's a pretty nice reef out there and to the far left of the beach past the bouys.  

 On my way back in, this spotted bat ray swam past me.

We spent another hour or 2 here before deciding it was time to go back to the resort and clean up and go to dinner.  Angie was on a mission to get another mug from Duffy's, so we went there again.  Dinner and drinks were great again.  Then it was back to the resort and time for Angie and Josh to pack up.
