Early arrival to St Martin

The morning was beautiful and we had decided to take a combined island sightseeing and catamaran trip. The only way to see the true nature of these islands is to take the tours as you have typically less than 8 hours time to explore and 2 hours of this goes to eating and security controls.

This island was pretty nice, but not like St Thomas.... I am amazed of the amount of trash that one gets to see on these islands when driving around. The other noticable thing is the uneven quality of buildings..... You can have a nice house and a dumpdter beside it.

During our catamaran cruise we got to see Microsoft Bill Gates two mansions that he ownes on these islands. One was a huge thing overseeing the bay and the other one was also very impressive.
