Are you familiar with the saying “el último”? If your answer is yes then it means that you have experienced being in line, at least once, in Cuba. And you clearly know how the Cuban queueing system works. On the other hand, if your answer is no, then let us guide you through […]
The Tale Of The Pin Badge That Almost Got Away If you read our about pages than you know that we collect pin badges from where ever we visit. This story is about our pin from Cuba, the pin badge that almost got away from our collection of pins. An insight into how difficult […]
Understanding Cuba So how is Cuba? This country has been on our minds for a while now. We always said, “if we can’t make it to any of the Caribbean islands in our around the world journey, we will have to make it to Cuba.” It’s not because we wouldn’t like to see the other […]
Tobago is not your average Caribbean Island Tobago. It’s not as commercial as most of the other islands in the area and that’s why we love it! We wanted to get a different perspective of the island and it just so happens that there is a boat leaving from Buccoo (right in front of Miller’s Guest House), every day […]
The Pitons The most important landmark in St Lucia are, undoubtedly, the Pitons. Every single postcard that you’ll see, adds, travel magazine photos related to St Lucia will most definitely feature the twin mountains. Even the island’s local brand of beer is named “Piton”. The two volcanic plugs are located on the South West coast […]
We knew there was one more stop before we’d be ready to leave Martinique and here it was, right in front of us, one of the most beautiful beaches we’ve ever been to, until then, at least. Actually, I think it’s safe to say that it is still in our top five [beaches we’ve been to]. […]
Once on French territory, the boat’s St Lucian maritime flag had been changed with France’s flag. As soon as the boat got anchored, we disembarked. We passed through the duty free area and after we had a taste from their traditional Rum, we started exploring Martinique’s capital, Fort-De-France, which is one of the biggest cities in the Caribbean and it is also a very busy commercial Centre. […]
We did some research before we decided to go on this tour and booked the tickets with St Lucian Wave Riders. They’ve got a few options from which you can choose, but we went for the Martinique Splendor all inclusive (food & drinks) boat tour, which is only available on Thursdays. The catamaran departs at 8.30am and […]
Tickets √ Passports √ Camera √ 5:30am in St Lucia, sun didn’t rise yet and we are up and ready for our one day trip to Martinique. But before we all embark on this journey, it would only be fair to tell you a few facts about this beautiful island. The insular region of France, […]
After having spent most of our day hiking Gros Piton, it was now time to see the volcano. This would be the first time we’d see a volcano live, so we were both really nervous and anticipating we’ll see a big mountain-like volcano with bubbling lava and eruptions, cooling streams of melted rock, similar to […]
