Heather on the front of our dive boat offshore from Saba.
This little pinnacle offshore from Saba has OUTSTANDING diving.
The old stairs leading up from the cobble beach to the customs house and the rest of the island. For centuries, this was the only way on and off the island. That’s a ton of stairs to haul goods up and down! It was only in modern times when they brought a bulldozer to the island that they built the road down to the modern harbor.
Proof that I was actually at Saba! I so rarely have photos taken of me when I’m out and about.
Sunset off the top deck.
Down at the harbor getting ready to head up the hill to check out Saba.
Welcome to The Bottom! This is where a lot of the action happens.
A typical little road in Saba. Whoever is in charge of the roadworks does a great job.
The church in The Bottom.
The inside is really gorgeous.
This is a beautifully painted church. There’s a story behind all of the children in the paintings. If I remember right, they were all the local children at the time when it was painted.
Saba Electric, the power supplier for the island.
Looking down into the Bottom End. There’s a medical college down there.
The “Road that Could Not be Built” — This road was deemed impossible by the Dutch authorities but still a guy decided to go ahead and build it. Before the road, there were just a few goat tracks to connect the different parts of the island together.
In memory of Josephus Lambert Hassell, the engineer of The Road That Could Not Be Built.
Looking up at the summit of the mountain at the middle of Saba. This is the highest point in the entire Kingdom of the Netherlands.
The cemetery on the Windward Side.
Looking down at the beach where Heather did a clean-up years ago. It’s waaaaay down the hill.
The airport. This is strictly a small plane airport. They have several flights a day from neighboring islands.
A cute little house in the bush.
I always love checking out the local power infrastructure.
