British Virgin Islands, Tortola Baths

Up around 7:30 am so mom could get some breakfast before our tour to the Virgin Gorda Baths.
We waited in the lounge for everyone else to arrive at the meeting point then hopped on a tender boat to Tortola. After the tender boat, we had to get on another ferry to reach the beaches. The ride took almost 45 minutes. Then we got on Safari Buses to finally reach the overlook to the Baths.

There were two options for the tour itself-either take the more challenging tour through rock caves and steep stairs or go to the main Bath Beach. Mon and I chose the second option as we were still exhausted from yesterday. So no problems, right?

The only issue we had was the fact you had to traverse a steep rock pathway for almost a mile. Neither of us are very sturdy on our feet but we made it. The beach was lovely and the water was super clear. I went in fire a bit but had trouble getting out due to the current trying to slurp my feet. We laid out towels and got a Diet Coke and a bag of Fritos.
We enjoyed sitting and watching the rocks and sea.

Then we realized we’d have to go back UP to where the hike started…so we started back early. We kept having to stop to rest in shady spots. Then I realized the borrowed towels got left at our last resting place and had to run to get them. I shouldn’t have run…as I stood back up, everything spewed out. I felt guilty because I think I lost my cookies all over a little lizard.

It took us almost an hour to get back to the bus area but we did it!! Then the bus, the ferry and the tender back to the ship. We rested for a while before going to the buffet to eat something. The rest of the day we took it easy. We watched The Bad Guys 2. In bed by 9. There will be a time change tomorrow.Read more
