St. Thomas & The Walking Tour

We thought after the amazing day we had in St. Maarten, nothing on our cruise could possibly top it. But we were pleasantly surprised at how wonderful St. Thomas was!



We took a walking tour from Blackbeard's Castle (which, by the way, is not a castle nor did Blackbeard ever visit). We posed with some awesome pirate statues, and then headed down the windy, steep road to see the rest of the island.







We went into three different historic homes, where we met some great people that we befriended. The great thing was that everybody on the island knew everyone else, so they just kept directing us down the road to see their friends, who were equally awesome. We went to a rum distillery, lots of shops, an amber museum, and ended up on a really fun boardwalk next to the water, all off of the famous 99 Dutch Steps.
