Exploring Necker Island with Gumption: A Wildly Wonderful Afternoon

Liz and I joined Gumption’s Necker Island Nature Walk on Sir Richard Branson’s private paradise one sunny afternoon, where we met lemurs, kangaroos, parrots, flamingos, peacocks, and even a giant tortoise — a walk that turned into a true Caribbean safari.

Back in Our Happy Place — First Day in Tortola, BVI
