St. Lucia

In March 2012 the Australian cricket team toured the West Indies. What better excuse to check out another Caribbean island than a cricket match? So, Charles and I headed off to St. Lucia to explore the island and take in a One Day International between Australia and the West Indies!

 

Sint Martin & Anguilla

In February 2013 we spent a marvellous week on Sint Martin / St. Maarten with Mum and Dad and Laura, Charles and their girls.  We rented a villa on the French side of the island, where we stocked up on French wine, cheese and other goodness and explored the Dutch side throughout the week.  A highlight, particularly for Dad, was plane watching on Maho Beach. The photos below of a KLM 747-400 a mere 50ft over beach-goers heads are indeed real. Another highlight was visiting neighbouring Anguilla by catamaran.
