This week, our Travel pics series is B for Barbados. For Wednesday, an image from Orchid World, one of the most colourful locations in an already colourful island! Orchid World is a garden featuring around 5000 garden orchids – although obviously they aren’t all in bloom at the same time 🙂 I should stress that they are…
This week, our Travel pics series is B for Barbados. All the images were taken in a quick visit in April 2015 – Barbados was a port on our Caribbean-to-Europe cruise and it was only a taste. We begin at the port of Bridgetown, or, officially, Deep Water Harbour. The port was constructed in the late…
The theme for our travel pics this week is J, for Jungles (and rainforests) – and for Wednesday, it’s Martinique, in the sunny Caribbean sea. An island in the Lesser Antilles, this is a French Overseas Department – meaning that is is a little slice of France, and locals are French citizens with the same rights…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua – and this was taken as we sailed away from the magnificent West Indies island. Antigua is also called Wadadli by locals – and that’s also the name of their delicious beer 🙂 Wadadli means “our own” in the local dialect, whereas Antigua…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua – Today, it’s sailboats skimming across the bay. One of the most popular cruise-ship excursions on the Caribbean Island of Antigua is taking a catamaran off to a reef, and then snorkelling in the crystal clear waters. And from this picture, you…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua – and this was taken as we steered our sea-kayaks around mangroves, and over the shallow coral reefs nearby. We’d already been for a hike up the hill at Bird Island, and a snorkel amongst the coral just off shore – but…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua – and today it’s an abandoned boat in the harbour. Like many harbours we visited, St Johns (the capital of Antigua) contains a number of vessels … some floating, and some not! This is one of the ‘not’ – and it fascinated me. I…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua, one of the Leeward Islands that make up the West Indies. This is the view from Bird Island – an amazing spot that separates the Caribbean and Atlantic oceans. We snorkelled on a reef down below, and swam in the crystal clear…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua. The waterfront at Antigua was as pretty as a postcard – and completely dominated by the 13-story floating block of flats that we were on (the MSC Musica) We went for a wander around to buy trinkets, and drink beer – but like most…
The theme for our travel pics this week is A – for Antigua. We are going to do a letter a week until June – next week is B for Bridges, then C for Churches .. week eight will be H for Hanoi, etc etc. So, as I say, we start with A for Antigua. We visited this West…
