We always said that life is too short and there are too many places to visit in the world to go on holiday to the same place twice but in January 2017 we discovered the Caribbean island of Bequia and our philosophy changed. In January 2018 we went back and in January 2019 here we were again at the brilliant Tropical Hideaway.
I'm not going to write much about what was the most wonderful holiday - I'll let the photos speak for themselves.
If I got a bit carried away using the new iPhone camera (the place is so photogenic), forgive me and just scroll through or hit the back button when you get bored.

Great photos. Looks like a beautiful place....did you do any detecting?
No detecting Dick. Would certainly be worth trying the beaches. I emailed Tourism people asking for the rules but heard nothing. Maybe next time.
