Ava's Tropical Dreams- Bequia!

  B E Q U I A ! Wednesday 10th December Hi! I am so excited to tell you about all of the amazing things I have done here in Bequia. When we first pulled in we were excited to see 2 of our friend boats. We anchored between them. Me and my sister decided to paddle board to the beach to meet some friends who were already there.

When we took the dinghy to shore, we found out that it was closed for a little while. We took this as an opportunity to explore some of the island. Making our way into the colourful village square, we met many friendly locals who welcomed us onto their island. We looked at a few markets selling fruit, clothes and souvenirs. We bought some fruit and then walked down the roads to see what else this cute island had to offer. We were met by devastation caused by hurricane Beryl. Houses had been torn apart and piles of rubble were everywhere! It was very sad. While on...
