We spent our last day touring on foot and by bus around Bequia. If you
ever get there, be sure to investigate Industry beach. It is a
beatiful spot, as pretty as any I have found in the Caribbean so far,
with lots of nice looking villas on the hillside, some of them for
rent. We stopped at a restaurant "Dawns Creole Beach Bar" for
refreshements and thought it was as nice as any to date.
On the the sea turtle sanctuary for a tour, then a long walk back to
the boat for our last night and a meal of Barracuda. Sweet.
We left Bequia at 6:30 AM and took a ferry back to St Vincent. The old
vessel was pretty much what you would expect, rough but serviceable
with threadbare upholstery, minimal lifesaving equipment in view, and
a smoking old deisel, but she got us there just the same. We were in
teh company of many locals, mostly middle school students in their
clean pressed uniforms on their way to mainland St Vincent for a
better education.
From there, a LIAT flight over to San Jaun, and the rest is pretty
much mainland experience. It was interesting watching the progression
from rustic to polished as we headed back to the US. It was snowing in
Philly when we passed through, and there is a light snow falling here
as I write.
Thanks for following along. I may blog again later in the spring if I
help Alan get Unabated back up north.
