    Hi Gabriel, I'm surprised now you're venturing out to the Caribbean, and it's a good time to roll out there are no major tourist crowds to deal with you should have most beaches to yourself at reasonable prices so you're avoiding the tourist season crowds around the islands and avoiding much of the rainy season and extremely hot weather. Get plenty of Vitamin D good for avoiding Covid-19.

    The mongoose was brought into the Caribbean islands because they will attack and kill venomous snakes for food. The plural of mongoose is mongooses NOT mongeese: one mongoose, two mongooses.

  • @dee74raz
    @dee74raz Před 2 lety +1

    I like that you put reggae music at the beginning to emphasise the Caribbean. I think you can only visit half of the island on Montserrat. The other half is excluded because of frequent volcanic eruptions I believe

    • @susiejakes3019
      @susiejakes3019 Před 2 lety +1

      The eruption of the Soufriere Hills volcano in 1997 destroyed two-thirds of the island of Montserrat and displaced thousands. More than half the population were evacuated and got a free one-way ticket to England. Montserrat is a British Overseas Territory in the Caribbean. Those who stayed are still living in emergency shelters.

Funny thing is I actually supported the Windies instead of Australia, because of him, Garner, Ambrose, Lara etc. I eventually grew bored of cricket over the years, but still remember Viv and co. clearly.

      Airbnb usually doesn't have as great of deals once you plug in specific dates, especially if it isn't very far in advance, and then remove the shared accommodation option (not interested in sharing a place with someone). That was pretty much the cheapest thing on the island. The Caribbean is generally pretty expensive.
