Final day
28 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
For my final night in St. Croix, I went to the Beachside Café just a short walk from my place, and had the best Ahi tuna. I spent my last evening and the next morning, enjoying the beach and the pier for the last time before I had to fly out in the afternoon. It was a beautiful place with wonderful beaches, and a very laid-back lifestyle! It confirmed my belief that someday I will live on a beach somewhere! I am never more at peace then when I can hear the ocean.Leia mais

Sandy Point Beach
28 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
I was lucky enough to be here when the most beautiful beach on the island was open! Sandpoint Beach is closed eight months of the year because it is a wildlife refuge for sea turtle nesting. This year they had over 1500 sea turtles lay eggs on the refuge. It is only open for a few months on the weekends, so I took the opportunity to go on my last day in St. Croix. It really was the most beautiful beach I’ve ever been to, you can also stand on the most southern point of the United States on the southern tip of this island. The water was so clear and turquoise. It was stunning. It’s also where the final scene of Shawshank redemption was filmed, if you know that movie. I ended up chatting with a park ranger and two men from Columbia, who were visiting and learned a lot about the sea turtles. He showed us a path where a sea turtle just the night before had laid her eggs, and then crawled back down the hill into the sea. it was definitely my favorite beach that I have visited on the island!Leia mais

Farmers market and botanical gardens
28 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ 🌧 28 °C
I love me a good farmers market. The market in St. Croix was the best I’ve ever been to! So many vendors, and I got some really cool, souvenirs and homemade goods to bring home. Then I went to the botanical gardens, which was beautiful. It was set on the land of an old sugar plantation. It was very interesting and angering to learn about the history of the land. St croix was built on the backs of slaves and was owned by seven different countries over its history. During my walk, I got to see a lot of how the plantation was back in the day. It was quite the juxtaposition of the beautiful new nature and plant life set on the grounds of some awful US history.Leia mais

My airbnb

Nothing is better than waking up at sunrise and walking the beach. If you know me on vacation, you know that that is my favorite thing to do! I have found my perfect spot on this beach and like to put my beach chair right into the waves and read my kindle or just relax. Which also, if you know me is not a normal thing that I do!Leia mais

Massage and good food and beaches!
27 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ 🌧 29 °C
For my birthday Will surprised me with the gift certificate to get a massage when I was on my trip. Today I got to cash that in in the cutest little spa in downtown Christiansted . I thoroughly enjoyed myself and left feeling even more relaxed before. I headed to rainbow Beach where I enjoyed some swimming and some mahi-mahi tacos on the beach. I hung out on my Airbnb Beach after that and then checked out a great spot to try some of the local roti and pate. roti is like a doughy tortilla/naan type thing that has slow cooked meat and potatoes and veggies to fill it. Almost like a Caribbean burrito but so much better. I got mine with curried beef that was so tender and melted in your mouth. I also tried the saltfish pate, because all of the people who are local say you have to try it. SaltFish isn’t my favorite, but the roti made up for it! It also weighed about 5 pounds and will last me another three meals. The lady who runs the place calls herself the roti master, and I can see why. Amazing! She was so sweet and even gave me some extras!Leia mais

Driving around the island
26 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
The island is so small that you can drive across it from east to west in less than an hour. Today I once again practice my driving on the left skills. I am shocked that I did not make any mistakes especially when turning. Driving here is wild, so many potholes and people will randomly stop to let, anyone and everyone pull out of a driveway or a store. There’s also honking all the time. I read that people honk to tell people that they are letting them in, they honk to ask to be let in, they honk to say hi to somebody that they see, and they honk when they approach any sort of intersection to let people know they’re coming. The first few times I thought I did something wrong, but then I started to catch on, and even started honking myself! I drove up through the rainforest a little bit. Google maps gets very confused here so I had to use my savvy map skills to make sure I didn’t get lost.Leia mais

Christiansted
26 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ ☁️ 30 °C
Christiansted is the main city on the north of the island. It is the main port city, and actually where Alexander Hamilton grew up. I stopped by on my driving tour and explored the downtown and the boardwalk a bit. It was beautiful, but I think I enjoyed the West Coast of the island more because it’s less touristy.Leia mais

The best part
26 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ ⛅ 30 °C
If you know me, you know that I miss my Kmart that used to be in my neighborhood. So do some of my friends and my mother. St croix is one of the few places left that still has one so of course I made a stop since it was barely out of my way. It was like stepping back to the good old days, and I am sad to say I spent almost an hour there.Leia mais

Day 3-enjoying the beach
26 de outubro de 2023, Ilhas Virgens Americanas ⋅ ☁️ 29 °C
The Airbnb is right on the beach and my favorite thing to do is to wake up in the morning and walk along the beach as far as I can go. It was a beautiful day for that. I got to swim and explore more later when it started to rain, so I just sat on the beach in the warm rain and enjoyed it.Leia mais

I couldn’t quite check into my Airbnb yet, so I explored a bit of the town. I got to see the beautiful pier and stopped to eat at one of the great restaurants on the beach. I had the fresh caught wahoo blackened sandwich, and it was amazing. I got to check in and this place has everything I could ask for. Just tons of open windows overlooking the beach. And I am right on the water. I fell asleep to the waves crashing and even got to see a little bit of lightning. My dream come true.Leia mais
