Paul and Catherine stayed in Apartment #1:
Our explorations took us to . . .
the Garrison and town Cricket Pitch;
the University of the West Indies (UWI), with its great views,

the Flower Forest nature Preserve;
beautiful beaches, including Long Beach and Harry Smith Beach (our favorite!);
sugar cane;
sugar factories;
