Marry Me [Digipak] - St. Vincent

The Niagra of St Vincent

Advantages: Very picturesque, nice plunge pool to swim in, plenty of diving in points
Disadvantages: Not as big or impressive as I was expecting

The Falls of Baleine are located on the North West side of St Vincent and can only be reached by boat, therefore for tourists that don?t know anyone on the island the only way to get there is to go on an organised tour. A lack of tourists on the island will mean that getting a tour is not as easy as it is in other holiday destinations, where you are touted everywhere. In St Vincent it is the tourist that has to do all the hard work and actively seek out excursions because the tour operators/locals will not come to you. Whilst you will pay for the boat trip to the falls, entry is absolutely free and other than any other tourists that may be present you will be on your own. We managed to catch a boat from India Bay and the trip to the falls took around thirty five minutes. Given the size of St Vincent the trip to the falls will be ...

Review of Falls of Baleine, St. Vincent

A Caribbean experience in St Vincent

Advantages: Cheap, gorgeous scenery, fantastic beaches, nice locals
Disadvantages: Few resorts, you need to know a local

St. Vincent and the Grenadines (?SVG?) is located in the Windward Islands at the lower end of the Caribbean chain. SVG is situated between Grenada 75 miles to the south, St. Lucia 24 miles to the north and Barbados 150 miles to the east. SVG has a tropical climate that is influenced by the North East trade winds, resulting in a minimum temperature of around 28 degrees centigrade, and boy does it get hot in the summer months. St Vincent is often referred to as the ?Jewel of the Caribbean? and once you get on the island and do a bit of exploring it is easy to see why. Tourism Tourism obviously brings in money and this is something that the Government are actively trying to grow. Whilst there is some tourist activity in St Vincent, there is not that much compared to other Caribbean Islands. On one hand this is nice since ...

Review of General: St Vincent and the Grenadines

For God's sake marry her!

Advantages: Really well-written
Disadvantages: Annoying characters

Introduction In my quest to widen the type of books that I read, I borrowed this from a friend, who strongly recommended it. I've read some good reviews of John Updike's books in the past, although have never read any of his work. Realising that he wrote Witches of Eastwick did make me wonder what I'd let myself in for and to be honest, until nearly half way through the book, I nearly gave up. Luckily for me, I didn't, because I would have missed a good novel, if somewhat irritating at times. The story Marry Me is the story of two couples, Jerry and Ruth Conant and Richard and Sally Matthias. Both couples are successful, wealthy and have three children each. However, having reached comfort point, Jerry becomes restless and his eyes don't have to wonder very far - to big, blonde Sally who is also fed up with her adulterous husband ...
