Tomorrow would be my last day on the island for this trip, and I feel the same. I stay on the dutch side. It is both a bless and curse. On my arrival, there was no way to travel to the French side, so I was glad that I booked a place on the dutch side. However, in the past few days, I kept traveling to the French side for the beaches, and those barricades made my driving less enjoyable, so far the Orleans quarter is still blocked, and I don't know if someone is gonna clear the road. I think the cruises also skipped St Martin recently? I really didn't see many people on the beach no matter where I went. It's sad.
