Union Island

We walked around Union Island a little bit and the main commercial area here on the Island is Clifton. it is lined on either side with shopes and other business offering goods and services. the action on this island is at peak in the afternoon when the ferries arrive from St. Vincent. many people order their supplies from the wholesaler in St. Vincent and receive it every afternoon with at the ferry dock.

Mount Taboi is the highest mountain peak in the Grenadines. At 1000 feet it offers spectacular views of the southern Grenadines in both directions to Grenada and St. Vincent. The island's first car was unloaded in 1956, the first secondary school was opened in 1972 and the airport here was opened in 1974. You can see it is a fairly newcomer to modern society compared to the rest of the Caribbean Islands. We also went to pay Castello Pradise a visit. Jutta Hartman is a unique sight and her artworks is on dislpay throughout the labyrinth of bars, shops and her private home, a must see experience.

Emina, David, Sally and Jasmine came as guests and left as friends. We are all very sad that they had to leave us today, but everything has its time and I am sure our path will cross again one day. While they are enjoying another day 0n Palm Island before returning to Barbados, we are getting our JUCA ready for our next guests. We were busy cleaning, washing and making water before we were able to enjoy the rest of a beautiful day filled with peace and quietness. We ended the day cuddling up in bed reading our Roald Dahl book "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory" and
switched the light out quiet early.
