Small village on an island

2025-04-13: We arrived on the ferry to a bit of chaos on the dock. We eventually found a ride to town with a couple who were on the ferry. They apparently expected some beach chairs on Barbuda, and they were eager to get back to Antigua. Anyway, we dropped off our bags at the homestay, and then we spent the day walking around the Codrington area looking for food. In the end, we got a pretty good meal just a short walk from our homestay.
2025-04-14: We took an early morning trip to the frigatebird sanctuary before the ferry trip back to Antigua.
