Anse Mitan - Martinique Our next rendezvous with our friends, Robin & Sandra (Ngoma-Zimbabwe) was at Anse Mitan which is one of the original tourist sites in Martinique. It is located across the bay from the bustling capital city of Fort-de-France (pop. 120,000). While hiking to Musee de la Pagerie we passed Martinique's only golf course "Golf de I'Imperatrice - Josephine". The 18 hole course was designed by Robert Trent Jones, Sr. Also along the way we saw houses that were roofed with the locally made, very unique, fish-scale tiles. When we went sight-seeing with Robin & Sandra we left our boats anchored in Anse Mitan and rode the ferry for the 3 miles across the bay to Fort-de-France.
