Surprise!! Ed is hungry - find the buffet - don't eat too much, it will soon be dinner time.
Ed's tum has stopped grumbling so now we can we can explore the ship, find all the hidden away places and quiet corners to hang out or read. We discovered our cabin on our travels and returned later to unpack. Tip - There are almost never enough hangers in the closet - kudos to Christine - she bought two packs from Walmart for a couple of bucks - great idea.
There are two sea days ahead of us - no hurry to go to bed so we wandered some more and took in some of the late entertainment.
Sea days are for relaxing, reading, swimming in the numerous pools or lounging in a hot tub. Also, these days have no schedule - get up when you are ready - eat when your stomach tells you to - take in as much or as little entertainment as you wish - perhaps a movie on the giant screen under the stars - awesome.
Our first stop is in the US Virgin Islands, St Thomas - the duty free capital of the Caribbean. Great if you are anything of a drinker - good quality rum for $5 to $8 per bottle. Nice sign but we did not go down that route. Hangovers in the sun are not funny.
The day was a little overcast so we decided to walk into town. How far? Not sure. We saw signs which said 1 mile to town, 1 1/2 miles and 2 miles. Island time, we have heard of but not island miles. It was such a nice day we also walked back - 2 miles round trip, maybe.
Charlotte Amalie is a quaint little town with a very nice name. Below is the a view from the ship to town.
The taxis are from a truck conversion and large capacity.
Internet access is not consistent but we will post as often as possible.
