Almost Home
After leaving Devil’s Island we had a two day sail to the Caribbean and the islands of Trinidad, Barbados and St. Barts which were our last Ports of Call before reaching the end of our trip in Fort Lauderdale. It’s been 114 days, 39 Ports and 35 countries and we’ve met so many people along the way that it’s hard to remember them all. However, we’ll discuss the more interesting and annoying characters in a follow up post that should be amusing. The trip has naturally changed our perspective on the many cities, countries and regions that we visited and we’ll be able to put a face on news reports, the travel channel, national Geographic and the animal planet, rather than looking at them as something foreign a long way off. We’re looking forward to getting home, catching up with our friends and family and enjoying our little corner of the world in Vero Beach. We’ll enjoy staying put for awhile but the trip did wet our appetites for more travel and with luck and a recovering stock market we’ll want to return to some of the places we visited for a little more in depth look at the areas.
I have not added much commentary to the 3 islands in the Carribean. Hopefully the pictures will show the beauty and character of each. However, there are decided differences in the island. Trinidad is a mix of Indian and African influences while Barbado’s is distinctly African. St. Barts, on the other hand, is French including all the arrogance you would expect to find in France.
