Antigua

Second stop was Antigua, where food is full of plantain and surf n turf spiced stew pots and the colours were so vivid it was like watching the Wizard of Oz (tropical version) for the first time! We stayed at the very colonial feeling Carlisle Bay, white washed shuttered rooms and afternoon tea at the beach...
