点评:Windwardside is, in fact the capital of Saba. That statement is going to cost me dearly in the face of some Sabans - Apparently, a local told me once, that is long standing beef with the official capital of The Bottom somewhat down this amazing volcanic island. Both villages are barely 500 inhabitants. Why this rivalry? Because whereas The Bottom has historically been closer to the sea (we are still talking Saba here - so that means at 100s of meters of elevation, their way of keeping invasions out in the past!), Windwardside is central to its new tourism future. Trails up the mountains start here, as do you find almost all hotels that matter here, and the petite scene of bars and restaurants on island.
And it is great. First and foremost, the lovely cottage style buildings. Then, the lush rainforest trails commencing there. A great spot - but you will pass by there eventually - as there is only one "Road" there!
翻译:事实上,迎风面才是萨巴岛的首府。在面对一些萨巴人时,这种说法会让我付出惨痛的代价——显然,一位当地人曾经告诉我,这与官方首府——位于这座神奇火山岛下方的“底部”(The Bottom)——存在着长期的矛盾。这两个村庄的居民都不足500人。为什么会有这种竞争?因为“底部”历史上更靠近大海(我们这里说的萨巴岛——这意味着海拔数百米,这是他们过去抵御入侵的方式!),而迎风面是其未来旅游业的核心。登山的小径从这里开始,几乎所有重要的酒店都在这里,岛上还有各种小巧的酒吧和餐厅。
这里很棒。首先,也是最重要的,是可爱的小屋式建筑。然后,茂密的雨林小径从这里开始。这是一个很棒的景点——但你最终会经过那里——因为那里只有一条“路”!
