Another late night and early morning to the gym for Desiree and I. I added some weight training again. We got cleaned up and met up with mom and mike for sit down breakfast again before heading off the ship for the famous St Thomas.
We all took a taxi together at $4/person to the main downtown shopping area. We set off on a scavenger hunt to collect all the free jewelry. Desirees impression of this island would be something like Park Ave in Winter Park, however not so much. It was dirty and crowded and not what was expected. However the people were still very nice as opposed to Greece.
Mom and mike wanted to head back to he ship while Desiree and I ventured walking along the shore. The goal was to get to a marina and take a boat to another island to go swimming. We started walking along the waterside. We saw a sign that said 30 mins to Crown Bay. Did hat mean waking or driving? Big difference. Well we just kept walking and taxis would honk as they slowly coasted by to tempt us to give in on walking. Fortunately we saw signs '15 mins to Crown bay.' We passed areas that didn't seem like to best to walk thru with schools in session enclosed with barbed wire fencing. Another 5-10 mins and we had reached our destination with a marina bar Tickles at he water front. The boat we needed to take to get to the other island to swim left just a couple mins prior to our arrival. However we were hungry, tired and hot and decided to grab a bite to eat relax, and take a taxi back to the ship. Yummy turkey burgers.
We flagged a taxi down and he only charged us $10 for the both of us when we were expecting around $8/person. Lucky!
Back to the ship for a nap and get clean up before meet up with mom and mike for dinner. A little bingo after dinner for the big show- Dancing in the Street with the live band playing live popular and old school music.
Casino and sleep before our day tomorrow in St Maarten.
