Tuesday, April 8th, 2014 – What a fantastic day in Jamestown, St. Helena! (They pronounce it Helen-a.) St. Helena, one of the most isolated islands of the world was uninhabited before its discovery by the Portuguese in the year 1502. However, later the British started using this island as a place of exile.
In 1815, the British government selected Saint Helena as the place of detention for Napoleon Bonaparte. He was taken to the island in October 1815. Napoleon stayed at the Briars pavilion on the grounds of the Balcombe family's home until his permanent residence, the Longwood House, was completed in December 1815. Napoleon died in his bed in the Longwood House on May 5th, 1821.
When we got off the ship we took a tender to the little island. It was easy to get onto the tender from our ship but when we got to the small dock on the island it was very difficult to step off! The water was very turbulent around the island coastline and the tender was very unstable; it was bobbing around so much! In fact we later heard that 2 tenders had to be repaired because of they were damaged from beating against the corner of the concrete dock on the island today.
Once we finally stepped foot on the island we were very fortunate to stumble across Anthony, the taxi driver we hired to take us around to see all the sites! He was awesome and it was so nice with just the two of us so we could make up our tour itinerary as we went along.
Shortly after we left the port I commented about how picturesque a group of cows looked near a stream. He said that in addition to raising cattle, they raise a lot of their own vegetables.
They also they have a piggery.” Okay, we had to ask what a “piggery” was. Simple as it sounds – it is what they call the hog farm.
