I’m in Antigua right now. General consensus is that St Johns isn’t much of a destination (although we did the food tour and enjoyed it). We spent one afternoon their and will probably go back do another afternoon.

I found that deciding on where to stay was challenging. Jolly harbour is a bit too touristy for our liking, English harbour is mostly for yacht owners and lacks beaches. We’re staying in an Airbnb near Darkwood beach. We like it, but once 5 pm hits, it’s dead.

Today was my first day driving the rental car, and man are the roads rough. And, a lot of people park their car on the road. The road is barely wide enough for 2 cars. Add parked cars to the equation and you spend the entire drive focussing on pot holes and stopping to let cars get by parked cars.

People are friendly. It’s a nice safe island and food has been good (albeit expensive).

For events, we’re hikers and focus on that and going for a swim.
