The excursion included a short ride to the top of a mountain
overlooking the dock. It gave a chance
to take a few pictures of the ship and the port.
We next boarded the chariot to travel across the island for
an even taller mountain. This gave a
vantage point of both sides of the island as you made the climb in the
converted truck’s converted truck bed.
The final stop was at Mountain Top was a one more panoramic view
and a famous banana daiquiri.
Rain showers come and go, but it’s been a wonderful stop in
one of the most beautiful US territories. |
| Although the trip in the night was choppy, rain clouds were disappearing at the ship pulled into St. John. |
 |
| That's "Paradise Point" at the top of the sky lift in Charlotte Amalie harbor. |
 |
| I think this is the first time I've had a converted truck as my transportation on an excursion. |
 |
| All aboard for the 12 minute ride to the top. |
 |
| I'm at the top! That's my ship to my left down in the harbor. |
 |
| Four cruise ships arrived today. Our ship came in first (Eurodam is the one with the blue hull). |
 |
Leaving Paradise Point to travel to the mountain across the bay.
|
 |
| A view from an even higher mountain on the other side of the island. |
 |
| A view of Magen's Bay immediately below. It's on the other side of the island. |
 |
| Final stop on Mountain Top (and a banana daiquiri since it's world famous). |
 |
| The day on St. John was great, and I dodge any showers. |
