Hearing that Kingstown was a typical city and knowing that St Vincent had not much to offer in terms of interest, we took a midday ferry from Bequia to Kingstown and enjoyed a last morning at Friendship Bay. By the time the ferry sailed, the rain showers had started and become quite heavy and the 1 hour ride to Kingstown did not yield good visibility although the two islands are very close to each other and stay in view unless the rain was very heavy indeed.
Partly because of the rain, we didn’t walk far from our quirky cobblestone hotel and found the area in which we were staying quite scruffy and lacking anything of real interest. I was glad not to have to stay at Her Majesty’s Prison too!
So what could we do but adjourn to Basil’s Bar, which adjoins the hotel. Actually, our plan had always been to eat early as we had a 4 am start to the airport and Grenada, so after a rum punch or two, we had a very pleasant dinner at Basil's and retired early. And, the extra half day in Bequia was agreed to have been the right decision.
