The tour begins with a pick up from your hotel where you will then be taken to the colonial centre of the world's smallest capital Victoria. Here you will see the court building, museum, post office, Clock tower (which is a twin of the clock outside Victorian station in London). We visit the 'codevar' building where local craft such or kreol or (Creole Gold) are on display for sale. A walk across Albert street will take us to to the colourful market where numerous stalls of tropical fruits, vegetables, fresh fishes, herbs and spices are on display in an abundance of fragrances. We then drive across the Sans Souci mountain for a photo stop at the historical Mission Lodge and then en-route to a quaint Creole restaurant for lunch. After lunch the tour continues to the southern tip of the island to the restored colonial plantation of 'Jardin du Roi', which is steeped in the short hisotry of the Creoles as well of the George's family, whose family tree apparently carries a link to Louis XVII of France. A cold drink of home-grown fruit welcomes visitors before starting the visit of the surrounding plantation of vegetables, exotic fruits, herbs and spices. The rest of the afternoon will be more chilled out before being taken back to the hotel you will have a stop at the craft village.
