Did you walk the other way and see all those luxery apartments that were just left derelict as though some one had just pulled the plug on the place. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

No mate, we felt unsecure walking around Santa Maria as not many people were going about with their business. Lots of people just hanging around doing nothing, "no stress " being very apt. What we did notice was the amount of people with mobile phones but seemingly with no employment, very strange! Went and booked a trip out at Binky's where we had a jaunt around the island in the back of an open pick up. Think Binky is a Welsh lady who married one of the locals and set up home there. Don't know if this place was just for the tourists but I couldn't see the locals frequent the place. Was empty when we walked past. Like you said "it was a real eye opener to the sheer poverty amongst the wealth that some have there" . I'm glad to have witnessed it and for the family too as it really puts in to perspective what we take for granted at home !! 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

tatsblisters 9,689 Posted September 25, 2018 Report Share Posted September 25, 2018 According to our tour guide who was born and bred on the island the crime rate is pretty low on the island despite the poverty I was also surprised when he said it was a catholic country. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
