I arrived in BVI on Friday, 13 February, after a flight of less than an hour from Sint Maarten. A colleague from the BVI office picked me up from the airport. He is also a friend of Mr. Nice Guy (if you remember him from my previous posts).
The airport is quite small and there isn't a proper arrival hall with benches for people to sit while waiting for arrivals.
Terrance B. Lettsome International Airport is located in Beef Island, about 40 minutes' drive from Road Town in Tortola island.
After some long and winding road across the hilly islands, I reached the capital of BVI around noon. It is a small town with population of a few thousands, mostly resides on the hills. It has shops, restaurants, banks, offices just like a typical neighbourhood town in KL.
Went straight to the office and then by 3pm, left to the hotel for check-in.
My colleague who picked me from the airport was kind enough to send me to the hotel.
The room is huge...with a king size bed that can fit 3 people.
Not any fancy modern hotel, just a typical one with basic amenities.
Shampoos, lotions and soaps replenished on daily basis.
Ah, it has hair dryer. Good! I can use this to dry my clothes.
This hotel has no laundry service, hence I gotta do my own laundry, washing and drying in the room. Well, the weather is hot over there, hence the clothes can dry quite fast, if not I'll use the hair dryer to blow dry them.
Coffee machine with coffee and teas provided on daily basis.
The swimming pool which I hardly see anyone swim. Next to it is the hotel cafeteria/restaurant.
Across the road, you can see the yachts and a Caribbean cruise ship docking. The cruise ship left after a few days and another one arrived.
There's a bus stop right outside the hotel. Yes, there’s a free shuttle available, but I haven’t taken it before. Just not interested to wait for one under the hot sun.
