Not our scheduled stop -- that would have been St. Barts. Unlike Australia, being unable to use one port in the Caribbean means that several others nearby may be usable. And that's why we ended up in St. Thomas. Heavy swells from the big storm up north shut the St. Barts harbor, leaving us with a second choice.
St. Thomas is a huge shopping mall with cruise ships parked outside. If you have a need for Tanzanite, this is your place. We had no such requirement, so once again we just walked around and enjoyed the nice weather. Only one rainy day on this trip,
Just some pretty pictures of the harbor
Shopping everywhere
Looks like a contemplative soul, but actually just checking the phone
One of the interesting structures on the island is Blackbeard's Castle, rumored to have been a watchtower used by Edward Teach (Blackbeard) during his days of plundering. Perhaps he's still around...
And although St Thomas may have been an excellent base for freebooting, I think he chose it for proximity to Hooters.
