I did hear the coqui frogs!

Dark interior photos of the bus:

Between the time of day, the window tint and route taken, photos of Christmas lights were negligible. A few people got off the bus to stay in town. We got back about 6:30.

I was tired and hungry when we got back, went to Club Orange. I had the tasty roasted zucchini soup again, and ordered the Beecher's; however, it wasn't very good. There was no crust on it, just a scorched top. So I sent it back and had the CO special, short ribs, instead.

Made it to the 9:30 show, comedian Cisco Duran. He was as risque as could be, and mostly funny - I had heard some of his routine on the first leg.

This morning we docked early at Havensight in St. Thomas. A Viking ship is in front of us. It's a fair hike from the ship to the shopping area especially in the heat. No ship shuttle that I saw.

Once out of the security gate, there were the usual tours and cabs for hire. Price sign:

I was in search of an ATM. Found a bank about 3 plazas over to the left, and the machine read "temporarily not dispensing cash". Great! Walked all the way back, found an ATM across the street, by the Island Coffee shop. Decent prices on coffee beans and had a free iced coffee with a purchase. ATM worked fine.

Bought a few things and headed back! Time for lunch.

Ooh, good timing - I'm hungry! Since you won't be going to PG, I guess no burger for me😪

I'll have a mixed green salad w/ham & 1000 island; surprise me on the dessert, but no coconut, please😊

This is the shot I meant to post, where you can see the Virgin Islands Coffee sign, across the street.

The ceviche was delicious, as was the shrimp roll, although quite similar with lots of shrimp. Ceviche also had crab. Banana cream pie was tasty- better without the crust..

That does look good!

Forgot to mention that it was necessary for all citizens to show photo ID when returning to the ship security entrance in St Thomas.

Lunch was at Dive-In - incredibly busy considering we were still in port. Had the backflip, fries and Dive-In sauce, and a chocolate milkshake. 

[QuattroRomeo]

Took a walk up on deck 11- sports deck, a place I rarely go I admit! But in the interest of complete "reporting", I thought I would.. Plus, I had a milkshake to wear off..
