gillhalfpint Posted January 14, 2014 #1 Share Posted January 14, 2014 We have looked at the excursions, and picked ones we might fancy and they would come to around £700. We are now wanting to know which of the ports we go to are easy to do something yourself that would not be too energetic for my husband with a walking stick. Good bars or beaches, parks, wildlife or botanicals would be of interest. I have found bits and bobs on here but trying to get a list together now to take with us. Road Town BVI St Barths. St John's Antigua. Roseau Dominica. Kingstown St Vincent. Bridgetown Barbados. Oranjestad Aruba Kralendijk Bonaire. Willemstad Curacao. St George's Grenada. Cheers.
