Description

One island, two nations: Dutch and French. We dock at Philipsburg on the Dutch side, then board our tour to the French side. Sculptures of bus riders catch our eye in the city. Then we reach the border, which is marked only by a sign and an obelisk monument, with no security checkpoint. Our drive takes us past old Dutch homes like the one with the yellow star and old French houses, like the boarded up one, as well as nice homes. We pass a lovely church and cemetery in the Quartier D’Orleans, then reach the east side of the island, where we find The Butterfly Farm near Orient Beach.
