Time flies in beautiful places! We really enjoyed the plantation hotel on the beach. For one, there was hardly anyone there! We had the beach to ourselves and the pool to ourselves. The breakfast was always amazing and the setting of the place is perfect. We went on some walks to the popular Princess Margaret beach nearby, but we preferred our little stretch. The snorkelling wasn’t anything fancy, but Kilian and I got good exercise, often going out for long swims. We did meet a few people, mostly the sea faring kind or retirees. The kids did have a dance party with the local children on Independence Day which was a lot of fun. We went to a nearby restaurant for some barbecue and good times. The entire island was bumping with music that day until late into the evening. We will miss the rum punches from the bar and the mostly friendly staff. They are still way to chill or uncaring in our opinion, especially in the morning. Other travellers find the locals to be friendly, and they are in a sense, but having experienced so many other happier island cultures we are hard to please perhaps.
We left the Grenadines on Friday after a pretty rainy and stormy day. Our fast ferry never made it out of St Vincent so we were stuck to take the hour long slow boat. The seas were not terrible, but the open water sections were enough to remind us that we are not made for the sea. The kids didn’t mind at all though and Kilian thought we were flying as the boat swayed high enough to only see the sky. We got back to Kingstown, the little grimy city before dark. The cobblestone hotel had the same room ready for us and we went to bed early, still swaying. Comments are closed.
