St. Thomas is the gateway isle of the U.S. Virgin Islands in the Caribbean. It's known for its beaches and snorkeling spots. Puerto Rico is seen at 7:30 including the fortress Castillo San Felipe del Morro. At 10:00 is the island of Martinique with its largest town, Fort-de-France, featuring steep hills, narrow streets and La Savane, a garden bordered by shops and cafes. This French colony is where Napoleon's future bride Josephine grew up and where Paul Gaugin began his artistic bloom.<p><p>We encourage viewers to add comments and, especially, to provide additional information about our videos by adding a comment!
