St. Thomas

Boy this cruising life is tough. Every morning we get a wake up call, run to breakfast, hurry to the dock to meet our tour group, then we get on the bus and go, go, go.
Since we have been to St. Thomas twice before, and had enough of the beach and tours, we decided to sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast and go ashore when we felt like it.

When the Captain told us we would be tendering here, I was surprised. We usually dock, since St. Thomas has two cruise ports. Today however, we were to be the 6th ship in port!! The captain told us we would be anchoring right in the harbor and the tenders would take us straight to the center of Charlotte Amalie. This turned out to be great as we didn't need to get taxis to town. We did however block the harbor view for others. :)

After some shopping, we came back to the ship and had a nice lunch. We then relaxed poolside and on our balcony.
