Mayreau . St. Vincent


 Caribbean-St.Vincent-Mayreau This is the only island in the Grenadines grop I have not visited. So spend two days here . A small no tourist sort of island . So  was very interesting to visit. I guess it is one of the least visited ones. 
The reason I was here is pur philatelic. I had been to a post office in each of the group before. Even though I had Mayreau stamps before I was led to believe that there was no Post Office in Mayreau . So I never visited. But quite a number of years back I discovered that there was indeed a Post office, So off I went. I bought the stamps at the Philatelic bureau in Kingstown . In face when I got to the island of Mayreau the Post office was closed early . But lucky for me I got the nearby health office to call the Postmaster . He obliged and came back so I could meet him and post my card. In fact he told me he had sold stamps in over 5 years. !!. So a rare postcard.

Mayreau and Canouan

Caribbean-St.Vincent-Mayreau   This is the smallest island in The Grenadines that is inhabited. Population of about 300. But they have no Post office. 

This is a Mayreau stamp issued by the Philatelic Bureau in St.Vincent. But there is no Post office on the Island so no way to even post the mail there. This card was posted in Kingston , St.Vincent.

Caribbean-St.Vincent and The Grenadines-Canouan  This is my second postcard from here . 

This is the Postcard with the Official St.Vincent and The Grenadines stamps. All Definitive stamps. The Post office is not near the ferry port, which is unusual for the Caribbean. So I had to give this postcard to the customs official who posted to me .
