On Antigua our original plan was to find a beach, sit all day and relax. Boy did that idea flop. As soon as we stepped off the boat taxi drivers were yelling all around us, trying to get us to come and listen to their sales pitch. Finally after about the fourth one, we decided to just listen. After listening to his pitch we decided that what he was offering sounded like fun, so we took a tour of the island with a little beach time thrown in at the end!
Our first stop on the tour was their old fort. After this vacation I have realized that all of these little tropical islands have forts. And we saw all of them!
Matt and Sarah. Behind them is a bay where they filmed some of Pirates of the Caribbean.
Of course they had some local vendors at the Fort for me and Sarah to do some shopping.
The second stop was the Old Guardhouse which overlooked the docks.
Then, of course, the third stop was the Old Dockyard
I love old houses so I took a few pictures...
After we finished at the Old Dockyard we drove through their rain forest where he showed us all of the fruits they grow.
Can you see the bananas, they are kind of hiding...
After a fun day, we finally made it to the beach were we spent the rest of the afternoon!
