A number of islands make up the small country of T&C: West Caicos, Providenciales, North Caicos, Middle Caicos, East Caicos, and South Caicos. The largest settlement of close to 10,000 people is Providenciales, where the International Airport is located.
Our journey here was pretty tame, as vacation travels go: a 3AM rise, at the airport by 4AM, a 5:30AMdeparture. Then Halifax > Toronto > Providenciales, with an arrival just after noon. We actually had to be de-iced in Toronto - a far cry from the 30C temp that whopped us as we deplaned here today!
Flying into Providenciales, you cannot help but be amazed by the turquoise blues and white sand. Simply stunning!
By 2PM, we were checked into the Windsong Resort on Grace Bay and were at the beach shortly after.We stayed at the beach til 5:15pm, watching the sun go down.
Here's a quirky thing about T&C: they drive on the left hand side, but cars are configured as in North America, with the driver's seat on the left. So as we get used to our rental car, it's really something tricky to get used to!
Tomorrow we'll visit a conch farm and explore more of this tiny but stunning country. G'night from T&C!
