We're in BVI!

...as Shakespeare had it (with apologies)


...now am I in BVI - the more fool I - were I at home I were in a better place!


Actually it seems to be Road Town in Tortola that sucks. If you ever want gratuitious rudeness try immigration here - league of their own!!

On the other hand - three miles away is Peter Island with a quiet bay, loads of fish to look at when snorkelling, clear water - priceless!

One of the things about Bermuda was just how friendly it was - everyone on the street would say hello if you made eye contact. Passengers getting on a bus would say good morning to the other passengers, and smiles everywhere. It may be a small island, but it is worth a visit. I guess that is what made the contrast to the people here so striking. It is fair to say that given time, most will warm a little, but not all. The really friendly have been in a minority(Sam says you can count them on one hand!).

We are going to try Virgin Gorda, and see if it is different there, we hope it will be.
