I know you’ve seen this standard opening before. But I just have to note that some of these
pictures were posted originally with the travel blog write-up (original link
below). Now instead of a select few, I’m
sharing just about all the pictures.
Please be sure to visit the original blog link for more details of the
original visit.
I really enjoyed the beaches here (although they were a little
rocky), but I made sure to explore everything that the island had to
offer. One of those was the Estate Whim
Plantation Museum. The term “estate” is
what “neighborhoods” are referred to.
This was a sugar plantation that was built when the island was under
Dutch ownership to turn the sugar cane into rum. The manor house was still in decent shape,
but many of the outer buildings varied in quality. Much of this area fell into disrepair before
a historical society decided to come along and tried to restore this. The original blog notes below have a good
description of the visit, so follow the link.
And I tucked in a few pictures of the traditional festival which
was put on by the place I was staying. I
spent more time watching what was going on than snapping pictures.
