On the island of St. Martin, it had been a few years since we took the time to visit the capital of Philipsburg, so we took the water taxi from the cruise port and spent a few hours there. While the buildings show a hint of old Dutch architecture. we find that most of the businesses are bars, jewelry stores run by non-St. Martians, and hotels. Go to the beach or shop is about it. Or take pictures. 🙂
St. Martin is best experienced on an island tour with an experienced guide, a trip to a nice beach or a lunch at a restaurant on the French side. We have done this many times in the past and it is a much better time! We just didn’t want to do it this time.
Yes, take photos and buy a new hat! Commercialization has taken over everything. Love the colored steps and would have taken my share of photos, also.
I always say I’m going to buy one of those hats but I never do. I don’t wear hats often, and when I do they get in the way when I’m trying to take vertical photos. At least with a ball cap I can put it on backwards. Yes, it makes me look like a doofus, but…. 😉
Lots of beautiful colors around and it was hard to choose where to aim the camera!
Love those colors!
Me too! Thank you, Howard!
