Fun in the Caribbean and Puerto Rico

We had a wonderful time on our Southern Caribbean Cruise as well as the time spent in Vieques and Puerto Rico. Islands visited were St. Thomas, St. John, Barbados, St. Lucia, St. Kitts, & St. Maarten.

Here are a few of my favorite pics.
This is a picture with Victor on Vieques. He picked us up at the airport and was a favorite of ours. He took us to his farm and showed us all the work he has gone to to make a living. He's awesome!

The above picture is in Puerto Rico in the Yunque Forest. We took a nice Sunday hike to this waterfall.

Then we made it to the port and boarded the Carnival Fascination Ship.

 Here is a picture of it in the daylight at a different port.

The next few pictures are taken at Hunte's Botanical Garden on Barbados. We thought it well-represented the Garden of Eden. It was so beautiful!




On the way to the botanical garden, our driver took us to a place where he held a banana out of the window and monkeys came right to us and let us feed them. It was pretty awesome!



Another beautiful picture stop on Barbados

The next pictures were taken in St. Lucia - a very mountainous, beautiful island.

The volcanic, sulfuric, mud bath here is adding 10 years to our lives. Woohoo!

This is Diamond Waterfall in the Botanical Garden we toured in St. Lucia

The Pitons are famous here.
Not a favorite picture, but this represents the snorkeling trips we took - four or five of them. I'm not raving about the coral or large amounts of colorful fish, but it was still fun.  We saw a turtle or two.
Our fun table each night for dinner with our helpers. We loved all the different food selections and often chose two or three appetizers and maybe 2 main dishes. Yes, we were pigs.
All too soon it was time to leave the fun ship. The waiters and waitresses always entertained us during dinner time. This is part of their farewell song to us. If it won't play, try hitting the youtube icon.  I agree that we need to go "again, again, again!"
