New Years – 2019 - Day 7


We were docked at Tortola when we woke up - an island that we had visited before.

We had nothing planned as there really is nothing to do in Tortola except go to the beach, walk around in the very tiny city or take a boat to close by island and snorkel.

We choose to walk into the city and look around.  The city is so small that at its largest point, you can walk from one end to the other in 30 minutes.

There are a bunch of tourist shops right at the port and then very few shops even in town.

We did have an interesting time visiting their prison which was in use up to 1994 and it was a terrible place.  The lady who took us on the tour was very informative and we enjoyed her very much.

After the tour, we walked back to the ship and met our friends for lunch.

After lunch, Barb went to the pool deck and the sun and Ed went to future cruise and booked our next three trips.  Oct 14 – an 11 night Southern Caribbean Cruise, Jan 3, 2020 a 7 night Eastern Caribbean Cruise and Feb 17, 2020 a 12 night New Zealand/Australia Cruise. 

At 6 we sailed way and we went to the casino before the show and dinner and Ed lost a little and Barb just cheered us on.

Then the show which was another production number and it was the best one they have had, but still not great.

Of course next dinner which was the best of all of the regular restaurants in food quality and service  and then onto the casino where Ed won quite and Barb was a great cheerleader!!

Tomorrow we spend the day in St. Martins, one our favorite islands because of Orient Beach.

Night
