The cruise ship (small) i worked called in here a few times, its a very colourful village, even a kids tv show in the UK called Balamory uses the village as a backdrop. I could never understand why they didn't sell local Toby jugs.

Sleepychef, I'm not sure if you're giving clues to others or what as you obviously know the correct name. I'll give you the choice of identifying or letting others use your great clues.

I know it as well but right out of suitable photos so holding off. Didn't recognise it until the colourful cottages appeared.

According to the TTOL time meter on my machine, someone should be able to legally use Google and Sleepychef's clues to figure this out.

Fred, it looks like a great place to visit someday! And apparently it's a Bing Crosby song!

I think you might have mistaken me for Fred, no biggie, he's a good guy.
This might be an easy one as well for some folks, like Carol. Where is this island?

Not Guatemala but you're in the right region. A bit under the weather tonight, will check back in the AM.

We went through the Panama Canal once and we took one cruise that stopped at Cartagena, several to Aruba, but otherwise, most have been pretty much in the Caribbean, not so far south.

Maybe this will help a little. This city is not too far away.

Aruba? The private island of the downtown hotel? Name/chain I’ve forgotten, shuttle boat goes into the lobby

No, not Aruba, much further west. Fred was in the right region. The island is around 7-8 miles or so out from the city in the second photo.

I haven't been here, but I'll take another guess and say Costa Rica? Don't know the name of the island wherever it is.

No, not Costa Rica. Not sure I really expect folks to name the island, name the city and you'll get the country where the island is located.

Good guess, but this island is southeast of St. Croix.

Yes - you got it - it is the Morgan Lewis Sugar Mill in Barbados - now a museum.
