The bounty the island is available here. The vegetables on the left are Christophenes which can be added to curries, stews and salads.
Venders fill the market space and spill out onto the streets. Here there are fresh eggs (bring your own cartons), drinks. The lady on the right is holding a Breadfruit, introduced to the islands by Captain Bligh on his second breadfruit voyage. You might remember that his first breadfruit voyage was terminated by a mutiny.
Everything seems to be available somewhere - clothes, shoes, haircare products, beach chairs....
Here Pam is exploring the food court at the market. Local delicacies such as Souse, Curried Goat and the like are available.
The British built fortifications on Pigeon Island so they could keep their eyes on their French neighbors in nearby Martinique which can be seen on most days only 20 miles to the north. Here are the ruins of the officers quarters.
Fort Rodney sits atop the smaller of the two hills on Pigeon Island. The red are from the flowers of the Flamboyant trees, a familar site in the islands.
