St Vincent is definitely not a touristy place...people ask you if you want a cab but are not trying to sell you anything or beg... St Vincent has lots of hardware stores and food stores...good for provisionning of all kinds. Besides its greatest assets, the "Vincys" themselves, we like the intricate architecture of the catholic church ...and the botanical garden! This is the oldest botanical garden of the western hemisphere...with a fruit bread tree which is the direct "descendant" of the tree brought by Captain Bligh in the 1790's...In addition to some beautiful trees, there was also an aviary with some St Vincent parrots, beautiful birds and of course endangered species...Only 500 or so are left in St Vincent. This bird is their pride and joy!
