The Inn At English Harbour

... always offered lifts to those in need) and get some exercise (this island is seriously hilly and the hashes were never on flat terrain). A 'small world' story took place on one of the hashes when Dana (wearing her Milan hashing shorts) was going through a narrow wooded area where you had to pass single file. The guy behind her says 'Have you hashed in Milan because I have hashed there a few times?' When she turned around it was none other than Free Willy (his hash name ...

... pointed out to us, apparently he's done an awful lot for the islanders and is held in high regard; one of the many things he's done is to build a rehab centre to help locals deal with their addictions. From there we went to the Betty's Hope Sugar Plantation for a Caribbean style buffet lunch, which was just amazing, Creole chicken, rice, salads, dressings, fruit bread, rum punch, fruit, after 2 large glasses of punch a couple of ...

... is English, spoken with a distinctive Caribbean accent. <br><br>Once we boarded our air-conditioned mini bus, me at the front again and Mi behind me, we drove through the center of Antigua, passing along various beautiful little villages, each one having charming little old churches and chattel houses. <br><br>A visit was made at Dow's Hill Interpretation Centre at Shirley Heights where we viewed a 15 minute multimedia presentation that traces ...

... een heel klein beetje een "comfortcontainer"wordt (zoals wij de comfortabele luxe-jachten noemen). Energie Op Trinidad heeft Netjer een kleine update ondergaan waar het de elektriciteitsvoorzieningen betreft. We waren het meer dan zat steeds dagelijks de generator of de hoofdmotor te moeten draaien om de veel te kleine en versleten accu´s weer bij te laden. Een paar uur laptop of kortegolfradio was voldoende om de lichten letterlijk uit te laten gaan. Trinidad is op ...

Today we arrived in St. John's, Antigua, Antigua and Barbuda. We debarked the ship and walked a bit until we reached what seemed to be some sort of plaza, where a local was balancing a pineapple on her head while grooving to music, hoping to make a few dollars off of us tourists. Later in the day, we took a tour of the island and saw two gorgeous beaches: Dickinson and Runaway.<br>

We already knew the island and wanted to go to Sting Ray City. We rented a moped ($55) and headed out to the East side of the island. Roads had improved since our last time and it was a pleasure to ride. The tour: you are taken in a small speedboat to an enclosure about 5' from shore where plenty of Sting Rays are happy to see you, or better the food you are going to give them. You get to hold a big one, feed ...

... tietysti paljon komeita purjehtijoita... Superhauska viikonloppu, Antigua yksi suosikkisaaristani Karibialla. Nyt kun olen ollut taalla joulukuusta asti niin on tullut aika hyvin koluttua tama seutu. Antiguassa tavattiin paljon tuttuja (talla alalla on aika pienet piirit ja tuttuja naamoja alkaa nakemaan paikassa). Olen tormannyt taalla monta kertaa Justin nimiseen poikaan ja kumpikin ollaan oltu aina etta tunnetaan toisemme jostain ...

... to Nevis. We dropped anchor at Pinney's Beach just south of the Four Seasons resort and opposite Sunshine's (the Foxy's of Nevis). It was Superbowl Sunday and Al made a quick trip to shore to assess our options. He decided that Sunshine's buffet, couches and large screen TV were selling points. We had a wonderful evening and met lots of interesting folks. I avoided Sunshine's potent "Killer Bees" and was glad I did as I watched those around me get quickly smashed. At ...

... all the window seats had already been booked so I had to entertain myself somehow. The fruit of this is that I have now become a sudoku champion even managing to complete the advanced level!! Soy un genio! You may think it weird that I wanted a window seat for a flight that would only see the Atlantic, but I thought I might catch a glimpse of all the rowing boats on their way to Antigua. Yeah yeah, I know, a tiny speck on the ocean from 30000 feet, but miracles have occurred ...

... ridiculous. We are offered just a plate of fruit salad and some cheese, and we are all very angry. The leader gets nervous and tries to calm us down and the chef from the kitchen tells us that this is what they eat in this exotic island for lunch, so we should not be demanding. I then go straight to the people of the group and tell them to deny eating this ridiculous dish ...
