LABADEE - FEBRUARY 2009

Haiti came to the front page due to a most tragically earthquake. Seeing these pictures, it would be hard to imagine that Nature could be so destructive...



"HAITI - The name comes from Ayiti (land of high mountains), the Amerindian name for the mountainous western side of the island of Hispaniola"


"LABADEE is a port located in a peninsula on the northern coast of the island of Hispaniola, on the Haiti side of the island. It is a private tourist resort leased to Royal Caribbean International. Named after the Marquis de La Badie, a Frenchman who first settled the area in the 1600s, the resort has a new pier (to the right of the picture) capable of servicing the Oasis class ships, which transport roughly five thousand and four hundred passengers..."
