Highest point in Antigua

, , 0

It seems that you cant get into the main compound owned by cable and wirless to enjoy the views at Antigua’s highest point. You can get an idea of what it could be like from this site. I hope they can make some kind of area to get the public access to some nice views close by.

Gorillas in Antigua ?
The diversity of plant life here is simply amazing.
This for me is the most beautiful part of Antigua – not the road but the highlands.
Banana Tree – Fig Tree Drive
These look like mangos 100% to me but I had learned that the season had almost already passed ?
What plant is this ?
LUSH !
Antiguan’s don’t wreck their cars they just leave them !

I wish more farms would do this kind of thing and show off what they grow. Cades Bay Agricultural Station
Pineapples don’t grow on trees ! You knew that already…

I love this drive in the direction heading towards the beaches of the south west like Carlisle bay and Darkwood beach by then it is no longer fig tree drive but to me its still part of a great route that you can do yourself by car. The biggest hazard are the potholes that you could camp inside ! Features are the friendly communities you should take some time to stop in and buy some mangoes or other fruits in. Locals sometime bring their cars to the small stream to wash their cars. A 4×4 isn’t needed for this run but take it slow until you know the width of the car and where the tyres sit for the darn holes…

There are a big variety of fruit trees along the drive not just figs – try going bananas! Fig is actually the name for banana in Antigua.

Banana Tree – You could live without money in Antigua with what grows locally – but we prefer to drink rum.

A sunday at Millers to Fort James

, , , 2

I spent a few hours visiting the beach at Fort James and Millers bar and restaurant here. There is some good hiking to be had along the beach and back via the road. I took some photos along the way which will follow shortly. They have a few restaurants being built right close to the fort and the fort itself has a very nice place to get refreshment. I would love to see them spend some of the tourist tax on regenerating the area. It is in need of it however in its current state is quite charming, however could be really excellent and generating good island money.
