St. Maarten today after spending yesterday in St. Thomas - which was actually quite disappointing as a place to visit.

St Thomas…🤔

Had a decent time but not so good to keep me from checking out more islands on the chain…

Spent a great day in St. Maarten today.

Both the Dutch and French sides of the island😊

Much more comprehensive tourism infrastructure and the Dutch and French sides each had their own characteristics. I could envisage flying in here for a week of sun and sand and exploring - potentially island hopping to other islands close by on ferry.
