We spent the first few days in Barbados, then flew a small plane (Twin Otter) to Bequia, sailed on the Friendship Rose to the Tobago Cays for snorkeling, had a water taxi pick us up in the Cays and ferry us to Union Island for a few days, then the 1-hour flight back to Barbados. It was a perfect two weeks!
The first pictures are from Barbados: the view from our room, looking out at where the Atlantic and Caribbean Oceans meet; and a typical seaside village (shot out the window of our tour van).
Bequia: frangipani bloom (also name of our hotel), a delightful rainbow over the harbor (shot from our room), the biggest sailing ship in the world, the Friendship Rose schooner, us kids on the beach.
Union: 2 shots of the Scaramouche, which was in the first Pirates of Caribbean (Johnny Depp reportedly loved it), Scaramouche crew -- this ship actually sails without aid of engines!, a shot of the Windjammer Mandalay (which we've sailed twice between Antiqua & Grenada), and an amazing caterpillar.
We had a great time, very relaxing, and always so enlightening to experience cultures other than our own. Still trying to recover from jet lag, but enjoying our own bed & pillows immensely.
