I love those twin names! Do you remember my camping under the palm on Bora Bora? Or the dugout canoe sailing on Langa Langa lagoon?. Or Lapu Lapu? So how could miss Corre Corre? It is a little bay on the SE side of Statia Island. Centuries ago there were the battery. Now nobody lives there, except… wild donkeys… I saw them there, walking through the bush to the inhospitable coast. Statia has only two beaches: little one near the pier and the longer Zeelandia Beach on the Atlantic side of the island. But unfortunately you cannot swim there due to the high waves and strong currents. This is not an island for the beach lovers. But Statia offers great diving and snorkeling near the pier.
From Corre Corre I was walking onward to the botanical garden established on the south coast, There are great tropical flowers, but the garden is overgrown, so do not expect much…. It was the long walk. When I returned to my inn I recognized that there is no power -they cut-off the electricity on the whole island! You know what is means in the heat of the tropics: the fans or a/c does not work. You cannot boil the water… Uuu! We were waiting in the dark. After 5 hours they switched on… Thanks God!
