Jost Van Dyke – Advinspiration

We were getting pretty far into the trip and, unlike Tahiti, actual stores selling food were extremely hard to find and when you found them, they didn’t have anything worth buying. Needless to say, we were hoping to just eat out. That quest led us to Great Harbor on Jost Van Dyke, just around the corner from the bubbly pool where we spent the afternoon. It’s the main town on the island and was sure to be interesting at the very least.

Their police station and government building

Slowly rebuilding all the houses that were destroyed

Cool old truck outside Corsair’s restaurant

This used to be their grocery store… it’s closed. I have no idea how these people get food.

The crew on the way to the grocery store that had little more than canned food, bags of rice, and rum.

I don’t think they actually had ice cream

I bought some cool t-shirts from this store just because.

In my opinion, the most photogenic and striking building on the island was their old yellow church. The roof had been ripped off in the hurricanes and has yet to be repaired.

The tree had all of it’s leaves ripped off.

If you’re ever in the area, Corsair’s restaurant has seating on the beach and the best pizza and lobster fritters. 😉
