    Yes, I have heard of Anguilla before, however I know next to nothing about this island. That's why I watch your travelogs for the history and culture about the places you visit. By the way, Johnny cakes are made of cornmeal while traditional northern pancakes are made from wheat flour. Anguilla is such a beautiful island!

    I stayed 2 weeks at Zemi Beach House last summer. It’s beautiful & peaceful! This summer we are going back for 1 month at the villas (next door to your video hotel). We love to snorkel & swim. It’s not crowded or a party goers destination which attracts us. The locals are such lovely people! It’s extremely expensive BUT I would rather experience one fabulous vacation than crowds of several vacations (plus our son treats us to this gorgeous island hotels & airfares).We fly directly into Anguilla with American Airlines). Local cuisines are outstanding. Veya was our favorite so far! God Bless❤

    And the great thing about a long narrow island is that if it’s rough on the north (Shoal Bay in this case) you flip over to the south coast - Rendezvous Bay would have been much calmer for you. So now you know for your next visit😎

    Really, really enjoyed this one. Must add my “2 cents “ worth on the Mini Moke. The original was a variation of the Austin Mini. BMC hoped to market it to the army as a mini jeep but I don’t think it ever happened. So it was sold as a recreational vehicle especially in warmer parts of the Commonwealth. My childhood best friend who lived near Detroit bought one in ‘67. We drove it from there to Halifax, stopping at Expo 67. Sure got a lot of attention. Even got stopped by the police but he only wanted to check out the car. You didn’t say if yours was gas or electric. His had a convertible top but no rollbar. Gas tank was in the side. Very dangerous. The car is now in BC and has been restored.

    Very nice video - I love your channel! I have been to Anguilla twice in one year and it certainly is one of the most expensive destinations in the Caribbean. BUT it is affordable if you stay at a condo/cottage/apartment and don't mind to actually cook some meals yourself (which I enjoy on vacation). While some of the luxury hotels on Anguilla belong to the best in the world, I prefer to rent my own place with kitchen and outdoor area. There are quite a few very nice condos/apartments on Anguilla, and they cost a fracture of hotel rooms. It of course depends on the time of the year, and in main season from December to April, the prices are very high. I traveled in February and August, and in August you not only have the beaches to yourself (even though there is no such time of the year where they are crowded at all), but the prices are going down a lot. Only drawback to go in August is, that many restaurants (and hotels) close down until October, so the choice for going out for dinner is VERY limited. But if you stay at your own place and like to cook, you can do Anguilla for under $2.000,- for two weeks easily.
    The sea in February always seems to be more rough and there is more wind than I experienced in August, where also the water was the flattest and most beautiful you can only imagine! So my preferred time of the year to go to Anguilla definitely is August!
    Renting a car is a must in my opinion, and the rates are totally OK.
    Can't wait to your next video - keep it up please!!

    We did Anguilla for 5 days back in 2017. Absolutely beautiful beaches, nicest people, and best vibe of anywhere we've been. Felt utterly safe, kind of place people don't lock their doors, and strangers wave to you. We are poors, so we did a VRBO on the east end for a reasonable price and packed lunches for the beach days. Was more affordable than you might think doing it that way.
    Angiilla doesn't have an airport that can take regional jets. I'm guessing the longest flights they get are from San Juan in Puerto Rico. They don't have a yacht harbor either, just the ferry terminal at Blowing Point. This really reduces the number of travelers that make it to the island, and totally changes its character from party town Saint Martin next door. It's also a separate immigration hassle since Anguilla is a British territory, and St Martin is French and Dutch.
    As an example of how chill and how tight knit the island is, I managed to lose my life vest when we kayaked back from Little Bay to Crocus beach. The guys at the kayak rental just hand waved it away and said they'd have one of their friends at a different company grab it when they went over on their next tour. I gave him a $20 tip anyway by way of apology. Everyone there seems to know each other, and you hear them beeping their horns in hello when they pass each other in The Valley. Also, driving on the "wrong" side really wasn't bad at all since there is almost no traffic. If you have to do it for the first time anywhere, this is a pretty forgiving place to do it.
    Anyone looking for advenure and excitment, night life and parties will be bored out of their minds. But if you are looking for a relaxing, safe, friendly vacation, there is no place better.

    I first heard of Anguilla decades ago, when the news covered the unusual story of paratroopers and 'bobbies' being despatched to sort out unrest caused by the island not wishing to be decolonised into St Kitts & Nevis. Operation SHEEPSKIN was dubbed 'The Bay of Piglets' by an amused Press.
    It's on my bucket-list but is an easier journey for an American or a Frenchman than for a Brit.

Had to change the tickets to Cancun and an inclusive stay at Moon Palace. It was a great trip but it was a bummer to miss a chance to visit Anguilla!!!

    The Mini Moke, designed by the British Motor Corporation in the 1960s, saw limited use in the British military. Initially intended for airborne operations, its lightweight and compact design made it ideal for transportation within airfields and bases, liaison and communication tasks, and training purposes. However, its limited off-road capability and lack of protection restricted it to non-combat support roles. After military service, many Mokes became popular civilian recreational and utility vehicles.
