 | | Subject: Cunard Christmas 09 Cruisers - Shore Tour Poll Thu Jul 10, 2008 11:53 am | | | IDEA FOR GRAND TURK After doing my catch up reading, I see most of us seem concerned that
there might not be much to do in Grand Turk. So, being the planner
that I am, I think I might have found something that might appeal to the majority of our still forming group. How would everyone feel about a one or two-hour tour of the island by Horse and Carriage followed by lunch at a local hotel/restaurant. Here's the menu (sorry it's in pdf) for The Birdcage Bar and Restaurant
http://www.ospreybeachhotel.com/lunch_menu.pdf The restaurant is located in the Osprey Beach Hotel
http://www.ospreybeachhotel.com/ And that's where I found the info for the Horse and Carriage tour (hopefully they have more than one horse and carriage): Take a
Horse & Carriage ride - Take a breezy one or two hour tour of Grand
Turk on a horse and carriage. Carriages hold 8 adults and make a great
birthday or anniversary present! Advance reservations required -

I'd rather do this than sit around the beach or hang out at Jimmy Buffets all day. Just keep in mind it would have to be an early lunch, we're only in Grand Turk from 8am to 1pm or we could just do the horse and carriage tour. Maybe from 10 to 12? This way it's enough time off the ship and we get some sightseeing done without pushing. Plus it would allow anyone who wanted to souvenir shop time to do so. How's that for Plan B? | |

That lunch menu sure does look good too! Personally, I promised my sister that we would go horse back riding in the ocean at some point and James wants to use Grand Turk as his beach day with the kids so we will probably be doing that. A little R&R away from Nick (Just kidding, you know I'm looking forward to meeting everyone!) | |

Nina, how good of a rider do you have to be for the horse ride in the ocean? I can stay on and that's about it but it sure sounds like fun. |

If you want to do a beach day, it's a terrific place! I think that's what we'll be doing! Nina, our kids can play together! | |
