Caribbean Cruzin - My 14-day travel blog - St Thomas

Day 3
FINALLY!!! We are on solid ground. We have arrived at our first port of call, St Thomas in the US Virgin Islands.

We booked a short shore excursion through the ship called The Best of Shopping.  At 9:30 am we made our way off the ship and boarded the bus. The tour guide had a very strong accent and we could hardly understand a word he was saying as he pointed out the points of interest, plus the loud speaker on the bus did not work properly. The shopping areas had mostly T-shirts and trinkets, but, we made the best of the situation and enjoyed the scenery anyway - after all, we were on vacation, in the Caribbean!

So, today, no commentary, just enjoy St Thomas in pictures.

 

I found shopping more to my liking - on my own!

Oh, I almost forgot, this is the first 'native' that we saw when we arrived in St Thomas. Yep, he met us at the dock!

and...have I mentioned that it was windy in the Caribbean???

I must admit, although St Thomas is very pretty, it does not get my vote as a place to return to for a longer stay, however, please come back tomorrow as we are in Antigua and I say 2 thumbs up for that beautiful island.  love, Love LOVED it!!!!
