Readers beware, one too many rum punches on your honeymoon and you could end up celebrating a view like this once a year with your hubby...and so the adventure continues. My husband and I have enjoyed the island of Tortola located in the BVI for several years now and as simple, stunning and sunny as it is, it never gets old. Even the journey there can be mixed and matched to suit your style. No matter what route you choose, it's a bit like Planes, Trains and Automobiles getting there. I always tote my camera but wanted to experiment a bit this time around so the images here are all taken with my iphone using a few cool apps like 360 Panorama (see image above) to enhance and have fun with. So portable, so simple, so addictive!!
Rum, rum and more rum seems to be the glue that makes it all come together. Tortola has 2 rum distilleries, our favorite being the Callwood Distillery in Cane Garden. They take their rum pretty seriously so we do too! The Soggy Dollar Bar and Foxys are the 2 best reasons to venture over to Jost Van Dyke for the day...I now understand why the last ferry ride out is at 5pm. Half naked people wandering around with their belongings in a zip lock bag makes sense if your there, trust me!
But seriously, the bathtub like water, white sand beaches and heavenly cloud formations make for the perfect get away. Island hopping is a no brainer, a ferry ride here, a cocktail there with lots of local interaction in between. The Bartenders of course can be the most informative, second only to the taxi drivers but that is another entry entirely.
Directions like these are worth following! Cheers!
