St Thomas - Caribbean Cruising

Wasn't too hard to work out, was it?

Though it’s only 32 square miles in size, St. Thomas has a million miles worth of things to do. Go shopping and sailing, snorkeling and sightseeing, or diving and dining. Enjoy the island’s world-renowned golf course, picture-perfect beaches and spectacular nightlife. Take the Skyride 700 feet above the city or climb the famous 99 Steps of Charlotte Amalie for an incomparable view of the Caribbean. And if you’re interested in culture and history, don’t miss seeing the second-oldest synagogue in the Western Hemisphere, the 1680-built Fort Christian or the childhood home of Camille Pissarro, one of the best-known French Impressionists.

St Thomas is a great destination to just wander. At the top of the Skyride, there is a cafe that serves the local speciality known as a "Bailey Bushwacker". It is a concoction containing

Baileys / Kahlua / Dark Cacao / Dark Rum / Vodka / Amaretto - all blended with crushed iced and topped with whipped cream. It's very hard to have just one on a hot day!!
