December......St. Martin/Sint Maarten





Shopper's paradise......






This is an amazing island....(one third French, St. Martin and two thirds Dutch, St. Maarten) it has completely reinvented itself as the holiday destination of the Caribbean. When natural resources ran out they declared themselves duty free and threw the country wholeheartedly into tourism and so there are designer shops, casinos, hundreds of hotels and at least one cruise ship visits daily.
Talk about a jewel in the Caribbean crown.


The best of everything is here.



Versace and Lacroix are just two more of the designers persuaded that this was a good place to sell their products.




Coffee time will never be the same again.
