Caribbean vacation
Our New Year holidays are traditionally characterized by long preliminary troubles on the topic of winter holidays – starting from the summer months, my husband and I systematically carry out discussions about upcoming trips in everyday and non-domestic conversations. Where would we rush this time? .. This year was no exception to the usual rhythm, so by the beginning of winter we had time to dream about future trips more than once. The “American” direction was previously selected by us as a priority. Of course, we weren’t going to go on vacation exclusively to visit Mr. Obbama — I wanted to see other interesting places with the indispensable attributes of a real vacation for the northerners – hot sun, warm sea … A weighty argument in our pre-holiday throwings was my school friend’s summer visit to us, now living in the Continue reading
Roatan Island “The wrong country was called Honduras …”
Honduras!!! Which of my peers did not dream of visiting here to find out once and for all, this or that country was called Honduras. I won’t say that I dreamed of longed-for Honduras for days and nights, but so often I found myself close, close to its borders and never crossed them, and it was terribly unfair.

True, for the sake of justice, it must be clarified that the ship was moored not on the Honduran coast, but on the island of Roatan, also geographically owned by Honduras (the similarities ended here), a completely paradise town, included in the list of the most beautiful Caribbean islands, and quite leading positions in the Continue reading
The nature of Bonaire, Saba and St. Eustatius
The topography of Bonaire is fairly common in the southern Caribbean. A low (up to 241 m) island represents the top of the underwater elevations of the continental shelf that frames the South American continent. The low coast of Bonaire to the north slowly rises, gradually moving into a hilly area surrounded by lagoons and bays of the Washington-Slagbay National Park. Almost the entire surface of the island is overgrown with lush tropical vegetation (mostly secondary forests), interrupted only by settlements, agricultural land and long beaches.
Saba and Sint Eustatius are as typical in their origin and natural and climatic conditions for the Windward Islands as the “ABC Islands” for the Leeward. Formed by the peaks of ancient underwater volcanoes, they for the most part have a rounded shape and a fairly elevated relief. The rounded Saba is the top of an ancient volcano, the last eruption of which occurred, Continue reading
