The Experience

The first thing I remember is the way the air hit my face—warm, sweet, a little sticky—when we hopped into that bright tuk-tuk outside St. John’s. The driver, Andre, grinned and cranked up soca on his phone. We rattled off down Fig Tree Drive, which is greener than any photo can show. Banana leaves brushed past us so close I could’ve reached out and grabbed one (I didn’t, probably for the best). Andre pointed out a breadfruit tree and told us how his grandma used to roast them over coals—he laughed when I tried to say “breadfruit” in his accent. I butchered it, but he seemed pleased I tried.

We stopped for fruit at a roadside stand—mangoes, guava, something called soursop that tasted like a cross between pineapple and vanilla ice cream. Sticky fingers, juice running down my wrist. There was this older woman selling them who winked at me when I hesitated over the price (“For you? Island price!”). After that we zipped through patches of rainforest where the light went all dappled and cool for a minute before opening up again toward the coast. It’s hard to explain how different everything smells here—like salt and green things and sometimes woodsmoke drifting from someone’s yard.

Andre let us pick which beaches to hit first—Turner’s was quiet except for some kids chasing each other in the surf; Darkwood had loungers and music drifting from a bar; Valley Church was all powdery sand and blue water so clear you could see your toes even waist-deep. We tried the island blend fruit punch (not too sweet) and just lay back listening to waves slap against the shore. At one point I realized I’d lost track of time completely—which honestly felt like the whole point of this day trip around Antigua by tuk-tuk.
