Though sadly rarer nowadays than formerly, there are still some delightful uncrowded spots to be found by the true connoissieur who is prepared to invest the extra effort and time required. Of course many people find that after one experience the British Virgins are no longer as enjoyable as they were beforehand. But my own, more conservative view, is that one's capacity to enjoy them increases with time and familiarity. British Virgins have been plagued of late by vast influxes of determined foreign visitors, many of them Americans I'm sorry to say. They come in flashing their bulging billfolds everywhere, and offering free nylons, and ultimately they spoil the British Virgins for everyone, pricing more careful punters right out of the market. My final advice: enjoy the British Virgins while you can, as often as you can, but spare a thought for the sensibilities of others as you enjoy a good romp all-over. And for heavens sake clean up after yourself. Passports are required, take a little extra cash, some of the Virgins are best suited to expensive surroundings. Early closing on Wednesday.
