The recaps of the honeymoon have been so sporadic the last two weeks. It shouldn’t really matter and I’ll get to them all eventually. So many blog topics, so little time (I joke…).
To keep myself organized here is what I’ve Recapped so far:
The last chapter of the honeymoon posts is the actual ports and islands we visited. We went to Nassau, St. Thomas and St. Maartin.
Nassau is the easiest to recap because we only stayed in Nassau a few hours. We spent the time shopping and just walking around the town. We bought souvenirs but other than that didn’t go very far. Honestly we enjoyed that a lot.
In St. Thomas we walked around even more. I don’t think I have walked that much in a very long time. We walked around the area and even walked to the other cruise ship port (about a mile away). It was great to see the island and see what was going on by foot. St. Thomas is also where we stopped at Glady’s Café (diner review this weekend). By the end of the day I was so exhausted! I have never fallen asleep that easily!
At the final port we visited, St. Maartin, we decided to do an excursion. We went kayaking and snorkeling. I am not coordinated at all and we shared a kayak.
The group instructor said “we do not provide marriage counseling after the tour”. HA! We had a great time and saw a lot of fish and creatures. The fish were not as bright as I imagined but it was awesome to take our underwater camera around and look at things.
I floated like a log while T dove down underneath to the bottom. Honestly I still think that is the most swimming I’ve done in a couple of years and I had a life jacket. It made me realize I still don’t miss swimming.
After snorkeling, we were starving. I think swimming for 1 minute makes me hungrier than running for 100 minutes. We stopped at a local café. We toured around (by foot again) and looked at various shops and markets. There is so much shopping on the Bahamas, it’s overwhelming.
I really enjoyed each of the ports we visited. One major thing I like about cruises is the ability to see other areas for a little while and move on. You get to travel and don’t have to plan a lot!
Questions for you:
Have you ever been to any of those islands?
Do you enjoy snorkeling?
