S1, E2: Intrepid journalist Simon Reeve is off on a whole new adventure, embarking on a journey around the Caribbean Sea, home to some of the most exotic and enticing locations on Earth. Home to thousands of islands and a tropical mainland coast, the region is crammed full of history, conflict, culture, adventure, wildlife, glamour and colourful characters, giving Simon endless opportunities to explore. As he travels from the slums of Haiti to luxury holiday destinations; from the beaches of Barbados to the Venezuelan oil fields; from the jungles of St Vincent to the drug war in Honduras, Simon immerses himself in the countries and their contrasting cultures. In his trademark engaging style, he seeks out the people making their lives in these islands and coasts, discovers how things are changing, and highlights the huge variety and richness of this stunning part of the world.
