Surprise -Welcome to Bequia!

It seemed like just another day, wake up at 0645 for gym class, oatmeal for breakfast, tidying personal space, but we had no idea what was in store for us. At Colours (morning assembly/ daily announcements/raising of the flags ceremony) our shipboard director announced that we were two hours away from the island of Bequia, a surprise port! We were all SO excited. We still had cleaning and classes (I even had to do my chemistry quiz) but by lunchtime we anchored off the coast of Bequia and the MOB boat dropped a few of us off at some random beach for the day.

We had lunch at a restaurant on the beach and then took a taxi into town. We spent most of the day wandering around the market. We bought t-shirts with the slogan “Live slow, sail fast” and various other small crafty items. We ended up at another beach and spent the rest of the day swimming and relaxing on the beach. It was a really lovely surprise. Can’t wait to see more Caribbean islands!
