Most places have house numbers, street names and zip codes; Bequia has trees.

























Not just any trees... oh no. Here nobody has house numbers and since there's only 3 roads on the island street names aren't really necessary either. So how do people know where things are? Well, they just know. If you wanna meet someone in town, its usually under the almond tree. Yup, THE almond tree.

And if you really need to give a number, the telephone poles have these little yellow and black numbers on them, so you just find the closest pole to your house and that's your number.
