Cocoa, FL - Cruise Day 5

 Wake up to another beautiful sunrise as we pull into St. Thomas.

Catch docking in the room on the TV cam

This morning the Towels take over the lounge chairs.

We share a short taxi ride to Charlotte Amalie, the Capital.  Dropped off at the Market Square.

The city started as a Danish settlement in 1672, named Taphus ("beer hall") before being renamed for Queen Charlotte Amalie of Denmark in 1691.  It became a key Caribbean trade hub known for pirates, sugar, and its unique step streets. The U.S. purchased it from Denmark in 1917.  

In case Gary gets tired.

Local wild life

We decide to go take the Tram to catch the views.

We got a ticket to ride

You board the Tram while it is stilloving, don't hesitate!  Up up and away.  

Quite the view from up top.

 

They advertise the "World Famous Bailey's Bushwacker. I gave it a shot (it has 7). Gary had a beer.  It was dangerously good.  Glad the next stop is the Ship within walking distance.

We head back down

We board and pull out a short time later.  We were parallel parked between 2 other ships on the dock.  They made it look easy.

And the sun sets on the other side.

We go to a show at the Teatro Rosso  after dinner.  Extremely loud.

A busy 3 days going port to port.  2 days at sea returning to Cape Canaveral.
