Photos from our Antigua 2004 vacation 08/03 - 08/12. Antigua has 365 beaches, one for every day of the year! We rented a car for one day and drove the western part of the island, so most of the photos were from that day.

1 A colorful shop at Redcliffe Quay in downtown St. Johns. I love the Caribbean colors!
2 A statue of VC Bird in front of the public market. As you can see, this was taken inside our rental car. The streets of St. Johns is very congested, much like any downtown in an urban area.
3 Fort James is an old fort, just south of Runaway Bay.
4 View of the beach from Fort James. This beach is very popular with the local Antiguans on weekends.
5 JH in front of a flamboyant tree at Nelson's Dockyard.
6 JH at the Admiral's Inn Restaurant in Nelson's Dockyard. We had lunch at the restaurant which had quite a nice view.
7 JH's dream sailboat! If we win the lottery we shall have a sailboat just like this one. Haha.
8 JH at Jolly Harbour. As you can see, his mug is all over the photos. Yours truly was busy taking all the photos! ;-)
9 More boats at Jolly Harbour. Nice to be rich!!
10 JH at Dark Wood Beach. This beach was beautiful, with white sand and clear water.
11 Other side of Dark Wood Beach
12 We stumbled upon this beautiful beach where there were quite a few locals enjoying the warm sands and clear water. It was right by Cocobay, and someone said it was Cocobay Beach.
13 Flamboyant tree. These trees can be found around the island. When they are in full bloom, they are full of these red, gorgeous flowers.
14 A Hibiscus flower, which was plentiful around the island.
15 Not sure what the name of this flower is, but it is pretty.
16 A Plumeria flower (aka Frangipani). These flowers can also be found all over Antigua.
17 A pretty cactus plant
18 VC Bird Airport. This shot was taken from the plane on the runway as we were taxi-ing off.
19 A view of an old sugar mill from the runway of the airport
20 View from the plane after takeoff.
21 View of Jumby Bay Resort from the plane.
22 This was an island after Antigua. Not sure which island it is.
23 View of the island of St. Kitts from the plane.
24 View of another Caribbean island after St. Kitts. I believe it might be St. Croix, USVI.
