You can call it The 'Garden City of the Caribbean'. Georgetown has easy to navigate streets, dilapidated colonial architecture and unkempt parks. Despite the hard-boiled exterior, the city has a thriving intellectual scene, fabulous restaurants and a riotous night-life.
The congested market area invades the senses with its mix of angry and happy shouting, marijuana smoke, and friendly and suspicious faces. There's so much turbulence that the town feels on the verge of exploding. A few blocks away, traffic lessens, the streets are nearly empty and there's a palpable Caribbean calm.
