Sunset at Cane Garden Beach
... of the day today, talking to hotels and others involved in tourism. Not much progress! We spent the last few hours driving around the north side of the islands. Roads were amazingly steep and curvy with stunning views down into coves and bays, and out over the Caribbean horizon to neighboring islands.
