Computer Acquired for Blind Student. What Next? The Anguilla Computer Club, using a donation from the Anguilla Financial Services Association and Gerry Riskin, has acquired a Pentium 180mz computer to assist young student Tyrone Richardson, who is blind and wants to become a lawyer. He can�t read Braille as there is no one on Anguilla who is trained to teach the blind. A properly set-up the computer can teach him and allow him to reach his potential. We have been in contact over the net with blind individuals and organizations that have advised us as to what equipment and software to buy. Unfortunately this special equipment and software is more expensive than we had originally calculated. Anyone who would like to donate speech synthesizer, voice recognition, braile keyboard, or cash to this project should email the Computer Club.
Cap Juluca and Malliouhana Among World's Best. Once again Anguilla's two premier resorts have been rated among the "Best Places to Stay in the Whole World" by the readers of Conde Nast Traveler Magazine.
Another Historic Tour Available. In addition to the Thursday tour of Wallblake House, The Old Factory, and traditional old Anguillian homes (meet at Wallblake house at 10am), the Historical Society is now offering a Tuesday tour of archaeological and salt industry sites in Sandy Ground. This tour is led by former Chief Minister Sir Emile Gumbs and starts at the foot of the hill in Sandy Ground at 10am and finishes at the Salt Factory (Pump House) at noon. Each tour is offered at a cost of US $10.
Laundromats? Julia and Steve Farber of Newtown Square, Pennsylvania wonder "if there are any self-service laundries on the island. We're interested in finding out so we can decrease the amount of clothes we need to take." We haven't noticed any self-service laundromats, but A-1 Laundry will launder or dry clean your clothes for you. Their number is 497-3018 and they are located in The Valley, in the back of the complex across from Ruthwill Auditorium. Laundry is reasonably priced and ready in a day.

Here are some events scheduled for the next few weeks:
![[Click to enlarge kitchen of Paradise Apt]](/ref/images/paradiseapt1.jpg)
Who says Anguilla is only for the rich and famous.
Anguilla has a lot of local places to stay that are clean, friendly,
and economical. For example, Ambrose Gumbs and his wife Luz Maria
operate their Paradise Apartments on Rey Hill, with a wide
view from The Valley to Sea Feathers Bay in the East.
For $65 nightly you can have your own apartment in Anguilla
with modern kitchen, twin or king bedroom, cable TV, maid service,
and private porch. And they take credit cards.
Cook your own meals. Small grocery across the street, or
take a 10 minute walk to downtown
Anguilla. Shoal Bay
beach is only a 6 minute drive away. Telephone: 264-497-2168.
Best time to call is between 3pm and 10pm.
Ask about car rental package, honeymoon special, and
long-term apartments.
Web Site:
Paradise Apartment has a web site with lots of pictures, honeymoon
specials, and package deals combining apartment and car rental.
And they mention that they have long-term apartments for rent
as well. web.ai/paradiseapt
We just got back from Anguilla and stayed at Nathan's Cove. About our stay, Nathan's Cove was fantastic! It is really right on the beach and spacious, beautiful with full kitchen, Cable TV, VCR 4 BD/5BA. It is relatively inexpensive and just what we wanted.
Serenity Beach Bar. There is a new beach bar in front of Serenity Restaurant on Upper Shoal Bay. Great for getting a cool drink after a tough exploration of the beach.
Another Question on Fishing. Richard Kane asks a question not answered in our previous article on fishing:
Does Anguilla have bonefish and/or tarpon fishing on shallow flats?
Frangipani Restaurant has a new menu, but we don't have a copy of it yet, so our article is out of date.
![[Click to enlarge Chinchary Villa view]](/ref/images/chinchary1.jpg)
Chinchary Villas has a brand new villa on
Sandy Hill with spacious views of the
coast and St. Martin.
This villa has two stories with the living space
and half bath upstairs
with the view and the two bedrooms (each with private
bath) and laundry room downstairs
around the entry and stairway.
It is set above a scenic bay and furnished with antiques, original
artworks, and new furniture. The villa is currently booked until March, but
after that you can rent it for $200 per day ($4000 per month,
add 8% for Government), or buy the house and the 1/4 acre
lot it sits on for $300,000. Telephone: 264-497-4259.
Web Site: Chinchary Villa has a web page where you can see many more pictures and detals.
Aside from beach strolling and water sports, there's little to do on this serene island of 10,500 inhabitants other than repose on the balcony of a luxurious villa, snicker at the cruise-ship hordes invading neighboring St. Martin and plot a restaurant itinerary.Though just 16 miles long and 3 miles across at the max, Anguilla boasts nearly a dozen good-to-excellent restaurants and two of the region's richest wine cellars (at Malliouhana and Koal Keel).

Enjoy sunday lunch, sun, sea, and live reggae music at
"Johhny Cakes" on Shoal Bay East.
Gwen has taken over lunch at Fountain Beach hotel and calls
her place Johnny Cakes. Now she is providing live music on
Sunday afternoons, along with her reasonably priced lunch, and
she calls it her Sunday Thing. Besides the regular
daily menu below, she has specials, up to and including
lobster!
| The Sunday Thing Menu at "Johnny Cakes" | |
|---|---|
| Fresh Red Snapper | US $10 |
| Grilled Chicken | US $6 |
| BBQ Ribs | US $6 |
| Chicken and Rib Deluxe | US $8 |
| All served with delicious local rice and peas, plus coleslaw. Assorted beers and beverages. Telephone: 264-497-9361. | |
Sunday entertainment is unlikely to continue into the low season. Be cautious about entering the ocean at this end of the beach - try 100 yards eastward where the inshore shoals end.

Sie werden auf dem Flug nach St. Maarten ein Formular erhalten, worin Sie Ihre Personalien und Passangaben eintragen müssen.

Nach der "Immigration"' kommen Sie in die Haupt-Ankunftshalle.
