English Harbour, Antigua



Yet another postcard from Antigua. It shows English harbour and Nelson's Dockyard as seen from Shirley Heights Guard House.  English Harbour was considered by Admiral Nelson who was an English General back in the 18th century to be hurricane proof.

Devil's Bridge, Antigua


This is my first postcard from a Caribbean country. My sister who travels alot in her work got this one for me from Antigua & Barbuda.  It shows the devil bridge which was formed over centuries of heavy surf on the Atlantic side of the island carving a natural limestone arch.  The crashing surf spouts through blowholes with spectacular eruptions and noise.
