WHITE SAND UTOPIAS & BEGUILING HISTORY
You’ve learned to prepare a three-course Mexican
meal in Cozumel… Explored the ruins of a Mayan city
in Belize… Become an expert in jungle flora on a
guided eco-hike in Guatemala. You even learned
to dance the merengue in the Dominican Republic.
Now here, a glistening strip of pristine beach
somewhere in Antigua, your heart and mind feel
a bliss as real as the sand between your toes.
You gaze upon the horizon with a carefree mind,
civilisation’s worries and concerns shed like a pair of
dime store sandals — lost in tropical tranquillity —
the essence of the Caribbean.
Serendipitous opportunities arise to leave your
cares behind, like spotting the wonders beneath
the surface of Barbados at Harrison’s Cave,
exploring the UNESCO World Heritage-designated
Colonial Zone of Santo Domingo La Romana,
people-watching in Cabo San Lucas, browsing
the boutiques and art galleries of Old San Juan,
passing through a certain canal, and more.
