Day 5: St. Thomas USVI and St. John USVI

Our ship arrived to St. Thomas but I was heading right to St. John!  
This is one stop that I was most looking forward to because I was going to get to explore the U.S. Virgin Island National Park!  It was a short ferry ride to St. John where we boarded a open air truck for a drive around the island.  You can't miss that we are in the National Park!
It is 19 miles around St John.  The National Park Service own 2/3 of St John but there is a gated community inside the park boundaries.  The views are amazing!
Trunk Bay
Cinnamon Bay
It was back to catch the ferry for our return back to St Thomas.  The beauty of the USVI really surprised me.  It's going to be hard to beat these views!  It was back on board and I made a stop at the Schooner Bar for a Kentucky Summer and Toasted Marshmallow Old Fashion.
 
I wasn't thrilled with either; so glad they are free.  A little nap and hanging out in the room before dinner. I decided to eat in the MDR since it was A Taste of the UK; the fish, chips, and mushy peas were pretty good.
