Tortola, BVI

Our next stop was in Tortola, British Virgin Islands.  Tortola is known primarily for their Pirate history.

We got up pretty early to get off the ship.  We all shopped at the tents right off the ship and the shopping was a pretty good success.  When we finished we decided to head to the beach.  The beaches are on the other side of the island.  Instead of having roads around the island they drive you up the mountain and down the other side.  It was pretty amazing. 

We ended up at Cane Garden Bay.  It was pretty cloudy with a drizzle of rain but it was beautiful!  The weather got warmer as the afternoon went on. 

We got some chairs and started our afternoon relaxation.

We got some pictures.

The water was nice and clear.  We didn't swim or snorkel this day.  We just relaxed.  There were millions of little fish right near the beach.  It was pretty amazing looking.  Debbie thought they were gross...

We then took a walk and got some pictures.

Some of the houses and buildings are amazing.  They are plain in style but they all have different bright colors.  We couldn't see any addresses listed so it made us wonder if the color is what they use to direct people to their homes.

Once our relaxing afternoon ended we took a taxi back to the port.  These views are of the other beach on the island.  Isn't it amazing?

The afternoon was perfect!  In fact the whole cruise had been perfect so far.  We felt rested yet not lazy.  We had experienced a lot of new things!

A view of the city and the port.

Before returning to the boat.  We didn't want to leave!

That evening we saw a comedy show.  The Second City.  It was very funny.  When we finished we headed to the game room on the ship to play BINGO!  Debbie and I brought our own set since we didn't want to play the real thing on the ship.  We also brought Dollar Store prizes!  It was really fun!  It was such a wonderful day!
