St. Maarten/St. Martin

Helene Sell
I would not go to St. Martin again. Too many people in your face offering to braid your hair or to come to their store and buy their stuff. That just turns me off, don’t yell out to me or in my face in order for me to come and buy whatever you are selling, makes me want to walk right away and ignore you which is what I did with most people. We were also offered “pot” and a ride on a jet ski. I thought that was an interesting offer. Wasn’t prepared to be offered drugs when I arrived. We did do the tour of the Butterfly Farm. Enjoyed the Butterfly Farm, the host of the farm was very funny. Although the ride to get there, wasn’t all that pleasant. Very run down and very poor areas that you drive through. I don’t really need to see that, I can see that at home. Kind of made you feel stupid when your tour bus stopped in the residential areas for something and you were sitting there looking down at the people sitting on the porches of their shacks. I didn’t really like that. We also went to Everything Cool. I would highly recommend that excursion. You could pay for the excursion, which includes, 2 free drinks, discounts on shirts at the place, lunch and use of a raft for the beach. They are directly on the beach and it was a lot of fun. Wished I had more time though. But you can just go there on your own and not use it as a paid shore excursion. It’s not too far from the dock. So that was St. Martin.
