The Oldest Botanical Garden in the Western Hemisphere
The oldest botanical garden in the Western Hemisphere gave us breadfruit history, a Cannonball Tree flower, a wild Broad-winged Hawk, and the clear sense that one morning was nowhere near enough.https://islandinthenet.com/the-oldest-botanical-garden-in-the-western-hemisphere/
Leaving Bequia a Day Early
A last morning at Jamdown, an unexpected island tour with family, the Hairoun revelation at Mac's, and an evening of old friends in Kingstown.
Rotis, Rum Punch, and Belmont Walkway
A vegetarian roti with real protein, two rum punches over the bay, and the particular saturated colours of Belmont Walkway on a Wednesday afternoon in Bequia.https://islandinthenet.com/rotis-rum-punch-and-the-colours-of-belmont-walkway/
Before the Island Woke
A clean salt breeze after two days of sargassum, a Mockingbird on the stone grill arch, and a single flower on an otherwise bare trumpet tree — a Bequia morning.
Jack’s Beach Bar on Cinco de Mayo
A frozen margarita made with Bequia sea salt, a Buddha bowl that actually delivered on protein, and Peggy the cat who claimed Bhavna's lap as her own.https://islandinthenet.com/jacks-beach-bar-on-cinco-de-mayo/
Sargassum Ruined the Morning at Jamdown
A Mangrove Cuckoo heard from the garden gate, Laughing Gulls working the sargassum below, and the morning I learned that Belmont Road smells like the inside of a volcano.https://islandinthenet.com/sargassum-a-mangrove-cuckoo-and-a-morning-at-jamdown/
Arriving in Bequia
A ferry crossing, a stranger who turned out to be family, roads with no signs, and a terrace above the sea — the first day in Bequia was a long one.
Morning at Dorsetshire Hill
Ten species in 55 minutes from a verandah in Dorsetshire Hill.
