We didn't like Philipsburg very much. Lots of shops selling well-known brands, but it all seemed like last year's collection. Lots of cruise ship passengers wearing tags showing from which ship they came, all looking around for that one bargain. A market with all the stalls selling the same colourful drapes, who look great on darker people, but hideous on us pale people. That's not my kind of holiday. So after a drink at a nice bar, we decided to leave this town.
The picture shows the famous Philipsburg liquor store, OK, so there was something positive about this town! Leave a Comment

You can enjoy a Dutch Caribbean experience and a French Caribbean minutes apart without air travel...or sea travel...white sand beaches....duty free shopping....very nice people...many have made this place their home.
It is not very far from St.Kitts where I was born..and God definitely live in the hearts of men and women here Leave a Comment

This doesn't fall under a favorite thing or fond memory but it is general information.
The stray population here is overwhelming. Coincidently an article was published in the local paper while I was on the island citing the Antilles of being the third worst in the world in their treatment and care of animals (Greece was 1st, Bulgaria 2nd, China 4th).
There is a local humane society but they are overwhelmed and rely mostly on donations from foreigners.
