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.
