The title should have an asterisk next to it since I didn't really go to Europe to visit the UK.
We went to British Virgin Islands (a UK territory). Thanks to this trip, I got to learn a bit about BVI. BVI and the UK, have some interesting arrangements. BVI citizens hold UK passports but they still need visas to work in the UK. The BVI residents do not elect their governor. The governor is appointed by the queen on the advice of the British government. Lastly, if you plan to visit BVI, forget about the British pound sterling. The official currency is the US dollar! Some of the other islands in the Eastern Caribbean use the Eastern Caribbean dollar which was news to me.I have been to PR many times, but never to USVI or BVI. The terrain was like PR, no surprise. We stayed in Nanny Cay, Tortola. The family had a great time. We visited the Cane Garden Bay beach on Tortola Island, and the Bight Bay beach on Norman Island. I got a chance to try paddle boarding for the first time and it was enjoyable. Few photos from the trip:

Any time I've thought I had bad food, it was always less than delicious. But you never know.
ReplyDeleteThis time, the diner was the issue.
DeleteThere is somewhere in the UK that has decent weather then!
ReplyDeleteAlthough we had a heatwave in London last month with record temperatures - 104 or 105 which is just unbearable given that virtually no homes have air-con and we are set for high 90s for the next few days
Good point about the UK weather haha. DC gets few days 100-105 each summer…unbearable.
DeleteMitrovic starting off well in the PL this year. Maybe this will be the season they avoid relegation (again)!
Looks gorgeous! Sounds like a great trip, lobster not withstanding...
ReplyDeletehaha it was a meal from hell
