The place is famous for its excellent diving/snorkeling so most people got off the boat for fish watching, and all came back full of excitement about the wonderful things they saw.
Around noon we all stepped into a boat and were taken to a small landing dock on the other side of Saba. That place was very ugly, but once we started driving up in the 2 vans which awaited us on the duck, things started improving rapidly. There are a few small villages on the island (~2000 people live there), scattered on the hills with a beautiful background of the rain forest. This island, small as it is, has a medical school. We also saw a couple of medical schools and a vetrinary school on St. Kitts - seems that many American kids come to study in these schools.
Lunch was at the Queen's Gardens Resort (Queen Beatrice of the Netherlands). We sat in a beautiful garden and were served very nice food - definitely the best eating we had on shore, but still a far cry from Matthew's creations.
About half the group went for a hike in the rain forest and enjoyed it a lot, and the rest went back to the boat.
And then some more snorkeling, showers and dinner - the last one on the boat... The evening ended with the last act of Heartbreak House - we all enjoyed this a lot and some of the readers put their whole soul into their roles.
