1. Two ships already docked, we’re going into the vacant space.
2. Barb and the owners of Chalet D’or Jewelers.
St. Thomas was on the horizon when we woke up and it was interesting watching this big ship maneuver into the harbor. We came straight into the harbor and made basically a right turn into the dock. These modern ships that don’t have rudders are amazing to watch turning and even moving sideways.
We were able to leave the ship at 10:00 am and we immediately hopped onto a shuttle for the short ride into town. Barb bought a purse at the straw market – I think that this is the year of the purse.
We went into a lot of shops and it is amazing how high the prices were for gold jewelry because of the current price of gold.
Finally we made it to our favorite shop, Chalet D’or Jewelers and Barb purchased a set of earrings that match her square diamond necklace. As she only wanted one earring, they made the other one into a ring for her – they really look nice. Then as we were waiting for the ring to be sized, she found another ring she liked – so we bought it also.
By the time that we finished, the shop was closing for the evening and the owner was kind enough to give us a ride directly to the ship. As we drove, she talked about her arranged marriage with her husband and it turned into quite a love story. They have now been married for 40 years!
The evening was the usual – we went to the spa, watched people on the promenade deck, had a delightful dinner, saw a great stage production and finished the night having fun in the casino. Almost the entire casino staff came over and wished Barb a happy birthday.
Tomorrow it is St. Martins and the beach.
