First port of call - St. Thomas, US Virgin Islands, and after 2 full days at sea, we were happy to see land.



The view of the harbor from the ship as we were coming into port

Another view as we were getting closer.

We didn't have any plans; never booked any excursions, so when we debarked and went ashore we hired a taxi and did the 'city tour'.

The taxi took us around the city and up to Mountain Top where we got a beautiful view of Magen's Bay.

 

 

 
St. Thomas is only 32 sq. miles in size, and our tour only lasted a couple of hours, so when we returned we wandered around in the downtown area.
 
 
 
 
There are many little side streets for shopping.

We had an enjoyable day, and even did some shopping for souveniers before heading back to our ship.
