My Caribbean favourites
A few of my favourite Caribbean experiences:
For me it's always the glittering blue sea that adds the magical ingredient to any Caribbean visit. The Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos have given me memorable encounters with mighty whales, shy seahorses, dancing dolphins and nosey sharks.
The scent of tamarind trees, the arched wings of a magnificent frigate bird soaring above the waves or the chirtling cry of a gekko on the ceiling above my bed inspire exotic dreams of an island escape.
