Caribbean Cruise - St. Thomas and Antigua

Our first stop on the cruise was St. Thomas. We decided to go shopping here, and it was not a very good idea. We took a taxi to the "shopping center", and no joke, every store was a jewelry store. There was one little ice cream shop, but we walked an entire block, and every store was a jewelry store. I wish we would have taken a picture of the street for proof because it was really odd. So, no pictures of St. Thoma because we were a little disappointed and there wasn't really anything to take pictures of.
Our next stop was Antigua. We has so much fun on the little boat ride in Cancun back in October, we decided to do another boat ride here. We started out taking about an hour bus ride to the other side of the island. Antigua is a very poor island, it was very eye opening to drive through the little neighborhoods. We pulled up to the boats, and compared to where we went in Cancun, this place seriously worried me. I thought our boats were going to sink or something, but it ended up being SO FUN!!! And our guide was really nice. Plus, Antigua is beautiful!






Who likes Antigua??? These guys!



Isn't he a cute captain?

So, I'm trying to remember St. Thomas.....(I can't find my album to look at the pictures) but, from what I remember, there were all sorts of jewelry shops, but that's the way it is all over the Caribbean. I remember we took a taxi to the shopping district and then walked back to the ship! Too far of a walk in my opinion! St. Thomas was not my favorite place! But Antigua looks like it has beautiful water!
