Sherwin finally goes ashore (St Maarten)

And here is proof of the event...


Sherwin excitedly rushed me ashore - we had 1 and a half hours.

I reluctantly went. I wasn't excited as him. Every time we are in St Maarten I seem to get bit by fleas.

I had never taken the time to really explore the port compound. Usually I am on my bicycle just dodging millions of Americans on vacation. I saw this really nice Roti stand. She was selling homemade juice.


This juice was from an island berry and tasted like Christmas. It was a juice similar to cranberry and it was mulled with spices like cinnamon and clove. The second juice I tried was a bitter tonic made from island bark. It must have been good for me. I much preferred it to the sweet Christmas drink.


I watched her put together some giant Rotis. She had all sorts of meat or vegetables to choose from. Conch, Chicken, Veggie, Goat.. It's done up in a curry and served in a wrap.






In our small amount of time we managed to explore the port, and walk to town and back. Here are some shots from the town.
