Well as you can see from the picts we had a packed full day of fun! We woke up in St. Thomas to a beautiful sunny day! We started the day going through customs and then headed to the gangway to get off the boat for the day. Once off the boat we got on an open air taxi and headed to downtown St. Thomas. We got off the taxi and walked through the shops of downtown then we walked through the flea market. After getting some towels and hats we got in another taxi and went to Megan's Bay. We pulled up to the most amazing beach. It was surrounded by mountains and it was just georgous! We found our tablemates and layed out with them for a while, we took a dip in the water, and then took off to Coral World for our Helmet Dive. We got to Coral World and we were the 3rd group to do the dive so we had plenty of time to walk around and check things out. It was really amazing there. They had a big aquarium, sea urchens we could touch, a big bird cage to walk through, stingray tanks, sea turtle pools, shark tanks, and an underwater observatory where you could watch the helmet dive and check out the sea life. We had lots of fun playing and checking things out. Then it was time for our helmet dive! We got our instructions and got suited up. We got our helmets on and climbed down the 15 foot ladder (I actually fell down the ladder) and we were on our way. It was absolutely incredible we were actually walking 15 to 20 feet under the water and able to hold different sea life that the instructor would give us, fish were all around us, and there was lots of coral and a ship wreck to check out too! After the dive was over we headed back towards the ship but on the way we got dropped off at the sky ride to paradise point. We got in the gondala and headed to the top of Paradise Point. From the top of Paradise Point you could see all of St Thomas. We were up there at the perfect time it was just about sunset. After taking a few pictures we went to the bar to get our "Bushwacker's" this was the islands famous frozen drink and let me tell you it was amazing! It had 10 different liquors and it was absolute deliciousness! After the drinks and a few more picts we got back in the gondala at the most amazing time...the sun was now setting! It was so romantic!!! Once we were back in town we got in the last cab for the day and had an exciting ride through the mountains back to the ship. When we got back on the ship we went to the room, got showered and dressed, then sat on our balcony and watched as we pulled out of St Thomas. It was sad but beautiful with the moon and the lights and the water! Then we headed to the dining room for dinner. After dinner and desert we went to the show with Vishnu and Kelly. It was great, the theme was Motown and there was a singer from St Thomas who has opened for numerous famous singers. He was truly amazing...he had us singing and even dancing in the theatre. After the fun there we went with Vishnu and Kelly to the disco/club for more fun, drinking, and dancing. When things slowed down there we walked through the casino...played two rounds, and went to the room to get a good nights sleep for amazing St Marteen!!!
