British Virgin Islands
A group of idyllic Caribbean islands offering world-class sailing, white sand beaches and tales of buried treasure that inspired Robert Louis Stevenson to write Treasure Island.
Only, in September 2017 it was directly hit by Hurricane Irma, the worst Atlantic hurricane on record, causing devasting destruction across the territory.
We know because we were there when it happened.
We absolutely hope to return one day. Until then, here are the articles we published based on our experience there.

Hi, we're Ian and Nicky, an English couple on a voyage of discovery around the world, and this blog is designed to reflect what we see, think and do. Actually, we'd like to think it also provides information, entertainment and inspiration for other “mature” travellers, too. So please feel free to pour yourself a glass of something suitably chilled and take a look around.
