a memory it’s time for us to all settle back into our everyday routines and personally, I’m relieved! Last month was spent on a fashion shoot that took in several Caribbean islands and whilst it looks idyllic in the video, behind the scenes things were a little more chaotic.
The first three days saw us travel from Barbados to Bequia to Mustique and back again - quite the journey, even without the wild thunder and lightning storms that decided to make our trips a little more interesting. On land the crew struggled with beetles in the sand, snakes in the grass and super mosquitoes that seemed immune to repellant. Meanwhile in the sea they battled jellyfish and sharp corals. And for those of us hungry after a long day’s work (a lot of my colleagues were floored with sunstroke and stomach upsets), vegan meals weren’t exactly plentiful in some of the local restaurants!
But despite those setbacks - not to mention the early starts and late finishes - I loved every second.
And whilst I’m sure that the royals sail into Mustique with more panache than I did (projectile vomiting into the Caribbean Ocean), the life, landscape and culture of the Caribbean is still my absolute favourite.
Next time though, before I set foot on another yacht, just remind me to take my travel sickness pills.
