We arrived in St. Helena on February 15th, as predicted. I didn't get to go ashore until the 17th though and the first thing I learned was that there is no free internet here. Internet cost over $10.00/HR. They also don't have ATMs or cell phones. It's a pretty remote part of the Great Briton but I was a bit surprised. In addition to all of that, I was not able to get money out of my debit card. I have not had an issues using ATMs at all of the places we've visited so far but, for some reason, my bank rejected my attempts to get some cash for here...that reminds me, they don't use credit carts here either, cash only. They also don't have many hotel rooms since the only way to visit the island is by ship or boat, I guess they don't need too many. So I haven't been able to get a room while we're hear either. So, with all that in mind, I just wanted to let you know that I will not be doing an actual post from here. The island is absolutely fantastic and I have mush to tell you but I just don't have the time or money here. I will be leaving on 2/21 for Grenada, which is a 30 to 35 day passage, please check back in a month or so and I will do my best to have something for you!
