Reise / Reiseführer
Beschreibung
Calypso Arc - this is what Carlo Reltas calls the Lesser Antilles, the chain of islands from the Virgin Islands in the north to the ABC islands of Aruba, Bonaire and Curacao in the south. The rhythm of calypso music epitomises the joie de vivre that characterises the people of this island world. Carlo Reltas takes his readers to the dream destinations of the Caribbean - in entertaining texts, which he garnished with over 100 photos. He shares his encounters with a fisherman and gambler, a fake pirate from the "Pirates of the Caribbean", friendly hosts, a lifesaver and many more Antilleans. He runs a half marathon in Barbados at dawn. He climbs the "killer mountain" Mont Pelé on Martinique, the Gros Piton on Saint Lucia and the highest mountain in the Lesser Antilles, the Soufrière on Guadeloupe. But he also deals with the hurricanes of 2017 in the final chapter "Irma, Maria and the consequences". The author was a journalist and manager of an international news agency for decades. Since leaving the news business, he has been living on the edge of the Odenwald (Germany) and travelling.
