ST. VINCENT and the GRENADINES - BEQUIA ISLAND

One of our fellow residents, has been living here off and on, and said spend one of the best things to do here is go over to the beach on BEQUIA ISLAND. So at breakfast I convince Scott we should take the Ferry over. We got off our ship at 10:28 and boogied through the crowded terminal to make the last morning Ferry at 10:30 AM! Gotta Love Island time!  Turns out 5 others from our SHIP, did the same thing. When we landed in BEQUIA,  45 minutes later, I had us organized that we all wanted to spend about an hour touring the island and then spend the balance of the day on a beach, until we took the 4:30 pm return ferry. A bunch of tour operators approached us as we exited the terminal, and I quickly negotiated a great rate for 7 of us to do a scenic overlook tour, for about two hours. We got to see the island from many vantage points. The driver entertained us with stories of Murder & Suspicion on the Island. We spent the afternoon on Princess Margaret Beach, lounging, swimming and relaxing in the sunshine.

BORNEO ISLAND is a fascinating place, that I had honestly only heard of from the reality tv show Survivor. I'm still learning so much, but I had no idea it is the largest island in Asia and 3rd largest island in the World! It is a mini continent, with 3 different Countries sharing the island's land mass ( Indonesia 73%, Malaysia 26% and Brunei 1% ). We are only going to 2 ports in Malaysia now, one in each of the states of Sarawak and Sabah . Below is a video that highlights and explains thing well.

The Port of Singapore is massive and thus deserving of it's own post!
