St. Martin is the
name of this part of the divided island, and became the seventh
country we visited on the Caribbean cruise in November 2007, and
the 72nd country. We stayed a while in the capitol of Marigot and
looked around before we continued around the island and back to
the dutch part. In St. Martin they use € -euro as their
currency, but that was a bit problem, because most people drove
to the dutch side to buy their goods, as prices were lower there.
For the tourists who came to shop they gave a good bargin:
1€ = 1$, and that was quite different than the official rate
of exchange in november 2007. Click here and you will get the dutch side.
