Some Islands Make their Way
under your skin, and others don't. Carriacou is turning out to be one of the former for me. The beaches (Paradise Beach near the airport and Anse La Roche on the northern end, to which we traveled in a water taxi) are outstanding. People are initially reserved yet very friendly. We've had great grub, lots of fresh chicken and some roti and lobster. Green Roof Inn is my favorite type of hotel. It's simple and gorgeous with singles starting at $40 and doubles at $70, located just north of Hillsborough, Carriacou's capital.
Today we're headed to Petite Martinique, an even smaller island north of Carriacou that grazes the maritime border with SVG.
We just got back home to the cold three weeks ago. Thanks for the reminder! Out of the blue this morning our friend from the vegetable stand in Harvey Vale called me up to say hello! That's an example of how friendly Carriacou can be.
