TravelTalkOnline Forums Travel and Vacation Forums St. Maarten - St. Martin 2024 March 23 to March 24

I started trip reports for each day but got very busy on the beach, pool, drinking and dining. So here is the rest of trip.
On the 23 rd left Princess Heights for Royal Palm. Picked up my brother at airport. At 12:30 Pm. He was out in 30 mins from landing to exiting arrival area. He had a carryon. Relaxed unpacked. Had a drink and went to BBB for reggae night enjoyable evening. (I may have reported this in prior post but I couldn’t find it -if redundant I apologize.)
March 24 Palm Sunday went church in Philipsburg saw the Palm Sunday parade procession. Went to Chesterfields for breakfast, saw everyone’s friend Basil there. Busy on beach drinks on patio. Dinner at Skip Jacks ,my wife’s favorite. Basil reserved a seat by the lagoon for us. My wife had her scallops, my brother John Dory; I had mahi-mahi all good.
March 25 Le Sucrerie for breakfast Nutella croissant is dangerous. On to dingy beach bar. The beach staff are very nice there. Helped my wife and were very pleasant. A bit windy and a lot of Sarragasum. Nice day though. Went to bistrot Caraibes! Grand case was not busy on Monday one of the reasons went then. Easy parking in free lot. Bistrot Caraibes was packed. I had rack of lamb which was good. My brother had beef Tijine which he deemed excellent. And my wife had a three pound lobster thermador which she loved. The staff was great.

Would have loved to see the Palm Sunday parade.. Bet it was pretty special.

I have a brief video but it is too big to post on the thread.

Too bad. Would have loved to see it.
