St. John, USVI
Johnnie Jordan
We
arrived at St. John at about 10:30am and tendered to shore. Upon arrival
we were greeted by a slew of air-conditioned (pronounced "open-air") bus
drivers. Some were bound for beaches, others offered sightseeing tours. We
decided to do the sightseeing tour. We toured the island for about 2 hours
($14/person) stopping at several scenic spots for photo taking. We also
stopped at an abandoned sugar cane plantation for an optional tour
($4/person). Charlie, our driver and guide, was very nice and informative.
At the end, he dropped several people off at Trunk Bay beach and took the
rest of us to a shopping area about two blocks from the pier where we ate
lunch at the Mongoose restaurant-a very good choice for lunch. After
lunch, we took the tender back to the ship
