Blowing Point
There is not much to see or do for a budget traveller on Anguilla where the price of a room in a beach resort starts at 400 $US a night.
My backpacking Swedish friend Annika and I decided to make a day trip there anyway.
This is the main international entry dock at Blowing Point.
Going through customs and immigration formalities here is a strange experience considering the island has less than 10 000 residents.
Sandy Ground
To get to the capital, called "The Valley", we had to take a taxi or walk. We tried to negotiate with the taxi driver but he was inflexible and we had to pay 20 $US for the 9 km ride. It would have been nice to visit Sandy Ground and some of the fancy resorts but not at those taxi prices. Finally we hitchhiked back to the public beach on Rendezvous Bay.
This is the village of Sandy Ground on the north shore, half way between Blowing Point and The Valley.
Rendezvous Bay
The beach on Rendezvous Bay was beautiful and there was nobody around the spot where we decided to enjoy the sea and sun.
