Caribbean - P&O IONA Day 19

 

Cruise - Day 19

Fort de France, Martinique 

This French island has all things french. Including language and currency. As soon as you leave the port the island becomes hilly.

We planned to book a taxi to the Balata tropical gardens which would have been 25 euros. However there were another 4 people behind us that were going to the same place. So managed to get a minibus for the 6 of us for 20 euros each return. Make sure you arrange a pickup time.

Tip as there are so many white minibuses, take a photo of the number plate to make sure you get the right one back.

Allow at least 2 hours to walk around, if you like Gardens even more as there is so much to see including a tree top walk. Be aware there can be long queues for that.

There is a small cafe at the entrance.

You need to ware sensible shoes not flip flops, trainers are fine.

 

Just outside the house there are a number bird feeders where you can spot some humming birds.
