SXM Lover reported on Trip Advisor the above. Leaving pm and was going to have lunch at Tropicana so wondered exactly where this blockage is as Sandy Ground also still blocked. Anyone? I’m thinking it’s further up, but not sure.

Not sure where that is? I from The airport go over the bridge turn left at the roundabout and go for about 2 miles or so until another roundabout and into Marigot that way?

I have had a few calls from people reading here on TTOL about what is going on. This is a situation the island does not need. Not sure what the answer is but burning cars, blocking roads and subsequent commerce and destroying property is NOT the answer.

bc007--Sorry this has happened to you. Suggest you give it a day or two and see what happens from here, before attempting to go back.

Thanks. Apologies for the confusion, by "home" I mean where I am staying on the island. I got stuck here. Hopefully things will get better soon.

Lesley--as in, you can't get home?
I'm sorry, this situation is ridiculous. The gendarmes need to ensure there is at least one way to get from the French to the Dutch side.. Whatever it takes.

No Actually I was stranded on the Dutch side trying to get one of our cars actually the last one. Well the good thing is that it is at a gas station.
