St. Maarten / St. Martin
French/Dutch island
We boarded out tour bus for a trip to the French side of the island
Very narrow and congested streets.
We had to wait at a roundabout, parked on a hill for 20 minutes waiting
for a dignitary to drive by... Queen Juliana from the Netherlands was here to open something... (guide not to sure what was going on)
Up until now our guides have been amazing (driver too), this pair... not
so much...
We finally made it to our beach after a short stop for some
shopping.... beach was spectacular!!!
Smooth soft white sand.. no rocks..no coral and easy breaking waves...
2 choices for lunch - ribs or chicken and both were great...
2 hours later and back on the bus to catch the boat...
(3 people didn't make it back today)
Tomorrow - St. Thomas
