A day of walking...

We arrived in St. Thomas this morning about 8am. We did not plan an excursion, but went exploring on our own. We took the taxi to downtown and headed to Blackbeard's castle. We went to the Rum factory and I fell in love with rum punch. It tasted like Hawaiian punch with rum. But when the temperature is 87 degrees and the sun is beating on you it tasted great. After seeing the castle we found the 99 steps and worked our way down it. We would have never made it up, but coming down them was no great feat either. We finished the day with more shopping and headed back to the boat around 2pm. As we set sail it started to rain and tonight's sailing is rocky again. We are at sea tonight and all day tomorrow. We arrive at Half Moon Cay which is Holland's private island on Friday. We have tried to upload pictures, but have had no luck. We will load them to facebook once we get home.
