St. Maarten

Well here are some things I've found so far on St. Maarten. First off there are two sides to the island, a Dutch and French side, as you can see in the map below. We dock on the Dutch side in Great Bay.


Sites of the Island-

Loterie Farm - a 154-acre private nature preserve. Here they offer an adventure course. Mostly made up of many zip lines through the trees. It does also have some swings (not your typical playground swings...) and rope bridges. I'm not fully sure what the price is direct but from the cruise ship it is $84 a person. However I am going to e-mail them and see how much they charge. Here are a couple of pictures:

Fun Fun!!!

Nice work guys! Mom and I thought that the rope course was great fun, but I do worry that Jeralyn will think it amateurish compared to some of the courses she has designed.

The Island has two sides: French and Dutch and they are really fairly different. One of the main difference is that nudity is tolerated on the French side, so the beaches might be a little shocking and I worry that we would find it offensive. [Some people apparently take the LGN challenge literally!] Sadly, I understand that the nicest beaches are on the French side. Perhaps the nudity is not that bad. Mom and I did not go the the beaches, so we are just going on what we have heard and read.

Ohh, you are going to St. Maartens - our favorite place in the world. If you need more info - we have the books and some insights to share. We stayed on the French side and loved it.
