70: labadee, haiti

Welcome to Labadee, Haiti! This little section of Haiti was purchased by Royal Caribbean and is their own private island for their cruise line. They just finished building it up about a year ago. It was pretty amazing! 
 Jim and I took the Wave Runner tour while on Haiti. We cruised along the outskirts of a few villages which we were told had no electricity or running water. It seems so primitive next to such an elaborate build up of a resort. The Haitians were very aggressive vendors. Here we are in the middle of the ocean and all of a sudden kayaks come at us from every angle trying to sell us trinkets and stuff. Who carries money while on a wave runner? I felt so guilty and sad not being able to buy something!


A little siesta on a hammock by the sea!



Another beautiful sunset to say good-bye to Haiti!
