Tues., 1/8/19, Went to St. Thomas after we docked. Enjoyed a taxi ride around the Island. We drove on the opposite side of the road and the road was narrow and hilly.

When we went on the balcony, we could see St. Thomas

Beautiful view from our balcony

We got off our ship and started looking for a taxi to take us on an excursion

We loved this taxi, but there wasn't enough room on it for us.  Gayla took our picture by it though

Did a little more shopping and then got back on the ship

An amazing Waterslide on a ship we passed.  I would never go on it though

After our taxi driver took us to a souvenir shop at the top of the mountain, we looked below in  a tree and saw this iguana someone had spotted.

Our animal for the night 

 When we woke up, our phone jumped ahead an hour.  We were so happy to be able to call the girls.  Couldn’t call Kimmy till she was home from work.  Sure loved talking to them all.  We ate breakfast in the Platinum restaurant.  We watched as our ship docked.  After breakfast, we went to our room and packed our stuff and went to St. Thomas. We walked through some stores and then saw Wes And Gayla coming off the ship, so went to meet them.  We found a tour taxi that could sit 21 people and would take us on a two hour tour of the island.  Joel sat in the cab with the driver and the rest of us rode in the open on seats in the back.  He took us on curvy and very narrow roads up to the top of the mountain.  They drive on the opposite sides of the road here.  The girls in front of us were yelling and laughing so much at all the close calls and steep hills that it felt like we were at Cedar Point.  

It was a beautiful view when we got to the top. We were looking down and saw a big iguana high in the tree.  We went through a big souvenir shop up there too.  He stopped a few more places for us to get out and the dropped us off to shop at some small crowed together outdoor shops.  Wes and Gayla told us to enjoy shopping and they would see us back at the ship.  Not much room for a wheelchair and they had been there before.  Bill got two nice shirts.  I didn’t see anything I wanted.  We walked about 3/4 mile back to our ship. Went through a couple of stores in a little mall before getting on the ship.  We ate lunch and then laid on some cushiony lounge chairs on the top deck.

Ate dinner but we weren’t too hungry so just got something from the Lido where the buffets are.  Watched cute game shows with people from the cruise as contestants.  One little boy around 10 was so cute.
