The tip of Martinique with the Diamond Rock in a sunsetWe are on Martinique, Caribs called it Madinina – the island of flowers. It is richly cultivated with banana and pineapple plantations and fields of sugar cane.
You can have breakfast at the French pastry shop and then browse through many charming or elegant stores.
In the cool of the afternoon you would want to visit small squares, surrounded by the flowering bushes, where guillotine was to often used, and pay respect to the victims of time.
Except for a few short periods of British power, French took over the island after killing the Arawaks, who colonized the island over 2000 years ago and fought the newcomers, choosing death over slavery.
The Martinique main road runs along the shore and when you tour the island, spectacular views make you stop and enjoy the unspoiled nature, the contrast of color, the scent of blooming oleanders, the laziness of a hot day and the wildness of the sea, brushing over the coral reefs.
