... GREAT!!👍 My first postcard from this island... a new Carribean territory to add to my collection😄... a unique island because it has two names depending on which side you’re on... Philipsburg is the main town and capital of St Maarten... an island paradise split between the French and Dutch in 1648... it's a little European with a lot Caribbean flavour... it offers visitors several options for recreation, relaxing beaches, amazing choice of water sports... the island’s hidden beaches and hills are perfect for hiking, biking, and kayaking to places of immense tropical beauty... St. Maarten is one of the few ports able to accommodate the world’s largest cruise ships... Thanks a lot Denise! ♥(ˆ⌣ˆԅ) Hope to get one w/s from St Martin too...😉(they use French stamps)!
Sint Maarten is a country within the Kingdom of the Netherlands, occupying the southern half of the island of Saint Martin/St Maarten.
It is the smallest inhabited island divided between two countries. The border is almost imperceptible and people cross back and forth without ever realizing they are entering a new country. St. Martin, and St. Maarten, have coexisted peacefully for over 300 years.
