The divided island
of Sint Maarten/St. Martin was the fifth visit on the Caribbean
cruise in November 2007, and here we mananged to visit both parts
during our visit, so we made two countries in one day. We landed
in the Dutch part, and went by bus to the French part. Its a
small island, but it had two of almost everything. Even using a
cellphone (mobile) was difficult, as they were scrambbled if they
called the other part trying to call local - oh no: here its
international call to call the neighbour next door. Here are the
pictures from the Dutch part - click here and you will get the french part.
