The ferry eases into Charlestown’s wooden pier and the island smells of salt, cooked cassava and citrus—air that rearranges the afternoon. A small van waits; palms brush the road as the guide steers toward Bath Village and the hot springs. Walking here feels like stepping through a series of living postcards: colonial stone, folded volcanic ridgelines, and neighborhoods where vendors call out in a steady local patois.
