To the Ferry and Beyond!

The day finally came for us to repack our bags, say good bye to Sunny St. Martin, and head to the Saba. 

Saba is pronounced Say-Ba. 

Its a Dutch Caribbean Island, and is considered a Netherlands Antilles. It's only a 12 minute flight from St. Martin or a 90 minute Ferry ride. If you apt to fly, you will land on the worlds shortest runway. 

We chose to ferry as we had a lot of stuff, and thought it would be easier with the kids. The ride wasn't too bad. Some passengers got a little sea sick. We didn't though I felt a bit nauseous. The kids loved that they were riding a boat, and as we came up to the island it was exceptionally fun to watch it approach. 

 Here we are leaving St. Maartin

Our destination!

 In the picture above, can you see the tiny house and windy stair case leading down?!

 Some of our wonderings on the island the last few days (I don't know if these movies will actually play, or if they will just show up as pictures)

 Below is in the middle of Windwardside, where we went for a run of groceries and dinner. 

 Below is the view from our back patio. It's absolutely stunning. 

Saba has those kind of views that take your breath away.....over and over again. It's like you can never fully catch your breath as you take in your surroundings. It's beautiful like nothing I have ever seen before.
