I woke early today (6am) so I grabbed my camera and went up to take some photos and let Wayne sleep. Took some great shots of the Pitons which are 2 pointy mountains at the end of the island.
We don't have a tour booked for today so we took our time getting ready. After breakfast we got off the ship and walked around the stores at the dock. Then we took the water taxi across to the main part of town. Once we left the main building we were bombarded with offers of island tours. Very aggressive and after a while very annoying. We found a local market with crafts and farm goods and the sellers there were also aggressive to get us to come to their table to see what they were selling. I could tell Wayne had had enough so we started walking back to the water taxi. On the way back we passed a man who was selling water and local Piton beer so Wayne got a beer and I got a water as it was very hot (hottest day we have had so far I think). We took the ferry back and walked around the dock shops and Wayne got another beer – actually they had a 2 for $3 special so he got 2 :). While we were sitting drinking our beer/water it started to rain and then just as we were getting ready to go back on the ship it started to pour. The rain only lasted a few minutes and then we went back onboard.
We went up to the buffet for lunch and it was Mexican day (it is a different country everyday).
Walked around a bit and then came back to the cabin to read/nap.
Tonight is the second dress up night so it's back to the buffet for us. Then we took our dessert out to the pool to watch the movie Harry Potter and the Half Blood Prince. Since I am not a Harry Potter fan I went back to the cabin and had a bath (the jacuzzi is great). Since I was up so early is was an early night for me.
If I had to do this port again I would definitely book a tour.
Tomorrow St. Kitts!
