Beautiful Antigua

Antigua is another beautiful Caribbean island, discovered by Columbus who ignored it, and it was left unsettled until the arrival of the English in 1632 with a plan to grow tobacco.  The soon decidedthat sugar was a better way to go and sugar mills popped up all over the island.  Later in 1784 Admiral Nelson arrived and established the British naval base for the illustrious Britsh fleet.
We visited a couple of British forts with wonderful vistas (unless you suffer from vertigo) and spent a pleasant hour in Nelson's Dockyards sampling Antigua's rum punch...it pack a whollop!
