     ANTIGUA AND BARBUDA
==============================

Antigua and Barbuda, located
on the eastern side of the
Leeward Islands, is a tiny
state comprising three islands
- Antigua, Barbuda, and the
uninhabited Redonda. The
climate is tropical although
its average rainfall of 100mm
makes it drier than most of
the other islands of the West
Indies. On Antigua, many palm-
fringed sandy beaches make it
an ideal tourist destination.
Barbuda is surrounded by coral
reefs, and is home to a wide
range of wildlife.
