Ecotours in Antigua

August 17, 2009

Imagine a day kayaking through the mangroves teeming with fish. The silence of the quiet water passages lead to a private beach where you may snorkel and enjoy a lovely picnic. Meander through the lovely gardens and take in the tranquil setting. This is South Coast Horizons located on the south coast of Antigua below Johnson’s Point. Mr. Bradley Lewis has created the ultimate eco tour for those seeking a unique experience. Located around Cades Bay, the views include majestic Boggy Peak and in the distance from the sea, the islands of Montserrat and Redonda. If you prefer a lovely walk, the 300-foot boardwalk leads through the mangroves ending at the beach. If you wish you may stay awhile enjoying one of the many casual comfortable accommodations. Within a short drive are several dining spots and the rain forest. It’s the perfect day or holiday stay for couples, groups, or families. Bradley has accommodations, pool, catering and of course his mangroves.  Mary Richardson from Boston’s Chronicle Show just visited and loved her day at South Coast Horizons. Contact 1-800-219-0118 or email ann@antiguacaribbean.com to organize a tour.

Chavez and Antigua…

August 17, 2009

I live 50 miles from the nation of Venezuela. I have not personally been to the country but would love to see Los Roques someday. The countryside looks amazing. Someday…
Overall it is my observation, Venezuelans in Bonaire do not love Chavez.  Many came to the ABC islands for a better life.  Many of my contacts vote against Chavez.  Personally I cannot comment too much but I have seen him on TV. This man can talk for hours. Everyone wears red in his presence. He is clearly an egomaniac. What about Chavez Time. The man could not even get it straight when he announced the new time zone created for his country. He had his IT people scrambling trying to switch over the country…

Yes in the US Joe Kennedy has a relationship with Chavez and bought oil cheap to sell to the poor. I realize Chavez’s presence extends into many US sectors…but..

What about Antigua?  The Stanford fiasco has devastated many on island. It is in a vulnerable position and having a bale out by Chavez, well is it the best choice? Why isn’t the US assisting or are we? Yes, we have poverty and our economic situation is in dire straits but letting Chavez bale out Antigua? Hmmm..food for thought. Take a read…educate me please..inform me..I plead ignorance.
