[QUOTE="tRidiot, post: 2899602, member: 9374"] Ok, so time for some more, I suppose. So here are some pics of one of Saint Vincent's cool attractions that aren't the beach, lol. This is Dark View Falls, up in the rainforest on the north part of the island, near the volcano, La Soufrière, [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_Caribbean_202016_20160731_1307160_zpslaxxwrb4.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_Caribbean_202016_20160731_132039_zpsnnsh1x7c.jpg[/IMG] This is Fort Charlotte in Kingstown, which featured in some of the Pirates of the Caribbean movies. These cannons were made in the 1600s, they have dates on them. [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_Caribbean_202016_20160801_132125_zpsu36xof3l.jpg[/IMG] Looking down from Fort Charlotte at a shipyard - this yard is where the Black Pearl was built. My sister-in-law works here.

Here's the view out of the living room of our villa on our own little private pool. lol [IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_Caribbean_202016_20160801_152208_zps8fnzydbg.jpg[/IMG] At the resort's main area with 2 tiered infinity pools overlooking the ocean.

[IMG]https://www.okshooters.com/data/MetaMirrorCache/i236.photobucket.com_albums_ff121_tRdoc_Caribbean_202016_20160801_185736_zpsbdwzkd5d.jpg[/IMG] And during full daylight.
