My first visit to this island and my 155th country so I was excited to explore it as soon as possible.
First was a visit to Fort Charlotte up and long and winding road and in the hot sun it was a killer but the views were amazing. It used to be a women's prison. I really wanted to get to La Soufre volcano which erupted earlier this year but it was too far away. Instead I visited the botanical gardens and had view stops along the way.
We drove up and down valleys winding our way through the island and feeling a little queasy. Then we headed to where the Pirates of the Caribbean was filmed in particular Dead Man's Chest. The beach was black sand and secluded and I loved it. The film scenes and props were still there and the locals made the most of it for the tourists. We ended the trip with a couple of hours at Becoment beach. Black sand because of the volcanic island. Some resorts get white sand from other countries which I find weird.
Then I hopped on the local ferry to Bequoa which is in the Grenadines island. You can also sail to Mustique also part of the Grenadines but further away. At Bequao I found the nearest beach and stayed there. I got burnt again.
