Just to the east of Puerto Rico, the US Virgin Islands provide
a base for thousands of charter boats and cruisers - busy, crowded and a little
run down, they are still fun. The British Virgin Islands are a little more laid
back and have a little more snob appeal.
The Leewards, a string of sun-drenched islands from St Martin
to Guadeloupe were colonies of England, Holland, and France - they are a
mix of colonial cultures with the African influence of the freed
slaves.
The southernmost islands in this string of pearls, from
Dominica to Grenada are more
remote, and thus less 'touristy' - locals are easier to meet - we found the people far friendlier than the busy Northern islands.
They also have some of the best diving in the Caribbean.

Unfortunately we have NO pictures of these beautiful islands because of the
loss
of our storage locker in the USA.
