If you can afford it and are up for the adventure, rent a boat! If you are unsure about your naviagting abilities they have captins that will drive for you. You can spend the day island hopping (watch for international boundaries, you will need to clear customs to get to some of the islands you see). There are many beaches around St. Thomas and St. John that are only accessable by boat. This is a great oppurtunity to get away from the crowds. Please be smart and careful. Don't drop your anchor just anywhere (our reefs are alive!), respect park boundaries (in St. John), and DON'T go to a beach where there are already people if the beach is obviously not accessable by land! We islanders like our privacy too, that's why we're at the deserted beach! There are many many beaches, you can find one that will be all your own:) Enjoy our underwater life while you are out and about.

Art and animal lovers will enjoy this gallery. Jonna White, known for her animal art has a lovely gallery on Main Street in St. Thomas.
Friendly atmosphere, you might just be "waited on" by the artist herself or her sister.
Located at 30 Main Street St. Thomas, this is a great place to browse for that additional piece. Leave a Comment Phone: 340-744-1201Other Contact: 877-860-3600

So I started my venture at the cruise ship port in St. Thomas. A taxi was needed to get to Red Hook (town). This cost 6 dollars but included a guided speech with a speaker that cut in and out. I was able to almost make out some of the tour. Next it was time to board the ferry. This cost 4 dollars and was somewhat enjoyable. Next another taxi was needed to get to trunk bay. This ride was a 10-dollar ride and once again included the broken speech tour. Finally a 4-dollar entrance fee was required to get into the park. The beach was nice and the sand was warm. The sight had a gift shop that honestly just sold junk and candy bars. There was also a fast food joint that sold tasty hotdogs and French fries. Well good luck and enjoy!!!!

The best way to beat the heat besides a cool tropical drink is a nice seat by a fountain. This fountain in particular is rather nice and located right by the A. H. Riise Shopping Mall. Leave a Comment

There are many quaint side streets and alleyways in Charlotte Amalie. Some are nicely shaded with trees and plants. We enjoyed wandering through these areas and seeing what was hidden such as interesting shops, little cafe's and even benches to take a rest. Leave a Comment

Iguanas are a common sight in St. Thomas especially at the Cruise Ports. We had the chance to see as many as ten Iguanas enjoying some sun and fun on the rocks. Leave a Comment

Liz and I were taking a break from shopping and relaxing on a side alley bench when we heard something rusling behind us. To our surprise there was an Iguana behind us coming out of some plants. Our new friend was quite friendly and seemed to relish in having his picture taken. He hung around for at least 15 minutes until a nasty child came over to scare the Iguana back into the plants.
