Heading South and Shirley Heights

First point of order, Rachel says the car is mint green not olive green, she's probably right.

We drove down to the South of the Island and up to Shirley Heights, which is the old fortification that looks down over English Harbour and Nelson's dockyard.

This was the major British stronghold in the East Caribbean and an important harbour because the headlands gave excellent protection from hurricanes. It also was on the southern most point of the island and facing down to those pesky French in Guadeloupe. Nowadays it is host to lots of fancy yachts.
