Was Martinique, then Guadeloupe, today Antigua
Looks like we just skipped
one month – time flies when one is in a vacation mode. Visiting the
islands, happy hours on Vanille or friends' boats, reading,
swimming relaxing - just being two lazy bums - and we are not ashamed
to admit that once in a while doing nothing feels great, just like a
long vacation. Well, in fact, this is a long vacation called
retirement! The water is warm, even too warm, the air hot and humid. There
isn't much to write about this lazy period, except to report that rum
here is still as good as when we met here each other in the Caribbean
some 28 years ago, except now we don't consume as many Ti-punches
(white rum, sugarcane syrup,
lime) as we did then! Sadly most of the anchorages are
crowded, full of boats, for sure some 30 times more than then.
Restaurants and bars are in every corners along the sea front, and
unbelievably the internet services are the poorest we have encountered
in years...This is a tourist zone with all its good and also its bad,
just a question of what you are looking for.
