Port of Spain, Trinidad

 Next stop Trinidad. Port of Spain is commercial not a touristy stop. It is a wet, drizzly day so we take a stroll through town to Independence Square and then back to the ship.

Fort de France, Martinique

 In port we took a bus to a kayak trip. We crossed an open bay to a mangrove forrest where we wandered among the mangroves looking for crabs: yellow spider crabs in the trees and bigger, red and black crabs on the roots.

We prefer smaller ships! (ours on the right dwarfed by another)

St. Barts

 Our next stop was St. Barts. The nature of the shops in the harbor make it clear that this is a place for the rich and famous. We just walked the port area but took advantage of the fantastic French pastries for sale at "L'atelier de Joel Robuchon"!!
