We still do not start too early, hey it is a vacation, right?  After several attempts to get through the ship<\/strong> from front to back we got to the dining area to get some breakfast<\/strong>.  Not all floors got through the entire length of the ship, so you have  to weave  your way around the middle open sections, the elevator shafts, etc.  Not much to say about breakfast<\/strong>.  Actually what can you say?<\/p>\n

We gathered up stuff and got off the ship<\/strong> to head to the beach.<\/p>\n

Very beautiful island<\/p>\n

First stop<\/strong> was Magen\u2019s Beach<\/a>.  It is supposed to be rated one of the most beautiful beaches.  It was pretty and the kids had a great time.  I was an old food and had little interest in getting in the water. After the day<\/strong> before, my back hurt, my feet hurt, I really didn’t want Fumunga cheese, so I found nice park bench, flat and laid out to help my back and nap<\/strong> a little.<\/p>\n

I did enjoy watching the birds diving for fish right<\/strong> in amongst the people<\/strong> and the Iguanas that were not too scared of people.  As I was trying to nap<\/strong> on the bench several came up close and then there was a crowd that had to come and get pictures so \u2013 no more nap.  Here are a few of the pictures from Magen\u2019s beach:<\/p>\n

Some in, some out, a beach party.”<\/p>\n

After a few hours at this beach we loaded in another taxi and went to Sapphire beach that is supposed to be good for snorkeling.  I didn\u2019t snorkel either but that didn\u2019t stop<\/strong> the kids.  They all seemed to enjoy it.  I had a  good time<\/strong> again watching the people.  And these are pictures from that Sapphire beach.<\/a><\/p>\n

After a couple more hours of beach fun we got another taxi and back to the boat.  So we actually made a pretty big loop around the Island of St Thomas<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\n

\"St-Thomas\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Once back at the boat we did a little shopping<\/strong> in the near shops, looked at a lot of trinkets and stuff and bought a sea-shell tree ornament (whoo \u2013 big spenders \u2013 but after the taxis running $48 for us we cut the shopping<\/strong> spree down \u2013 HA!).<\/p>\n

We got back on the boat and it pulled out at 5 PM.<\/p>\n

“End of the day, ship pulling away for a day at sea.”<\/p>\n

We rested up a little, cleaned up a little (get some of the sand off and then dressed for dinner \u2013 [if you want to be set down served you need to dress a little better than \u201cbeach casual\u201d.  Tomorrow night is formal night (suit and tie type wear).   After dinner Sherrie and I made it to the comedy club for two shows \u2013 the first was rated PG and the later one was rated R.  Both comedians were pretty funny. A few drinks would have made them a lot funnier.<\/p>\n

Back in the room we had a \u201ctowel ray\u201d waiting for us.<\/p>\n
