When I went from Virgin Gorda to Tortola the huge cruise liner Queen Mary 2 was anchored in front of Spanish Town and the small passenger ferry I was on passed very near to the sea giant.
Tortola is the biggest of the British Virgin Islands and its main center and harbour, Road Town, is the region's capital. Almost every day, at least in season, ferries are stopped there, while the passangers go on island tours and shop, which ensures lots of people in the streets aroung the bay. I went a little bit out of the center and was rewarded with a visit of the old residence and gardens of the British Governor-General, now a museum open to the public. It is a charming mansion, built on a small hill allowing fine sea views, and it is maintained like in its noble past days. Just see the dining-room, where Queen Elisabeth had meals while on visit to the island many years ago.
