We’re getting south, closer to Venezuela. This 30 something island here are another jewel – a pretty well kept secret, it seems. Or what do you know about St Vincent and the Grenadines? Not even Wikipedia knows a lot.

In the hills of St Vincent we stayed for a few days and had some lovely interaction with locals. They are so friendly and sharing!

They have the Sparrows Rum – they filmed some parts of ‚the pirates of the carribean‘ here – i don’t know which was first. The rum or the movie. They also have a rum which is called ‚Sunset very strong rum‘ -it costs 30 east carribean dollar, arround 12 US. It’s 84,5 % – and they warned me, that people do stupind things when they had some rumpunch. Well I had some rumpunch and yes I did stupid things… To drink a beer early in the morning is nothing special here – it’s very island – no one looks at you like they would back home!

My first snorkling event ever – aquarium live even with some hugh turtles, pretty impressive stuff and with only snorkling gear not so much of a hassle compared to diving.. Turquois waters, white sand beaches, clear water – incredible out there in the tobago keys!

Nic on sunset

On our host island in Bequia we are spending the days on a terasse overlooking the bay with beautiful sunsets while drinking some Hairoun beer (the original name for St Vincent).

Well sitting here, being a year older – again – it’s hard to formulate any complaints – except I couldn’t fix my hosts website problem, danke Mike eimal meh :)…! And this sunburn from the snorkling session which still feels like sandpaper on my back. I think we both never been that brown before in our whole lifes…
