Day trip to Bequia

Yesterday a large group of us, about 20 or so, went out to Bequia, an island part of the Grenadines. We left around 9am by boat which was an adventure in itself. It was probably the worst boat ride I have ever been one. It was swinging, swaying, and all kinds of motions. I, of course, got really freaked out (not sea-sick) just really freaked out when the boat felt like it was going to tip over. So we finally got there and I must say that the island is beautiful; it is everything that I could imagine the Caribbean to be like. It had nice restaurants, hotels and amazingly beautiful beaches. I finally realized that locals live on St. Vincent while tourists go to Bequia; there were so many Americans and Brits...it felt like at was at home! We ended up taking a water taxi to the best beach on the island and the location of the Blues Festival. It was so cool! We pretty much just lounged on the beach from about 1pm until 5pm. At 6pm we finally made our way back to St. Vincent by the same boat that got us there but this time the water was even choppier and it was nighttime!! Let's just say that many people were feeling sick, including me. Overall, it was a great, great day and I thoroughly enjoyed it. I really hope to go back there at least 5 more times! Until the next adventure...
