My First Visit to St John's
Here are a few pics from my first trip into St John's (the capital "city" of Antigua). The streets in St John's are mainly one way and are generally rather congested with angle parking down either side, so it takes a little while to drive in and find a park. The deep gutters also make parking an exciting adventure. The gutter in the picture below is probably one of the better ones!
As luck would have it, there was a cruise ship in town! As you can see in the photos below, the city is right on the harbour with any docked ships looking like another (albeit rather more modern!) city building. Having a ship in town means that all the really nice shops in Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay are open. However, it also means we have to share the city with lots and lots of other tourists.
After having a little look around and a quick lunch, we stopped by for an Australian Ice Cream! Mmmm... Belgian Chocolate ice cream.... Yum!
Mack then took us on a bit of a drive to an area just south of St John's to see what we could see. From Gray's Farm (an area I'll tell you a little more about later), I managed to get this photo of the city from across the water. You can see St John's Cathedral on the right and the shops of Redcliffe Quay and Heritage Quay in the foreground.
