Day 10-11 - Exploring Tortola

We stayed at the Sugar Mill Hotel in Little Apple Bay, Tortola for 3 days. It was a nice relaxing stay. On our second day, Monday, we took a taxi to Road Town to check that out. It is the most populated city in the BVI, and is their center for commerce and government. It was worth a visit but you don't need to spend much time there.

On Tuesday, we took a taxi to Mount Sage National Park. Mount Sage is the highest point in The Virgin Islands with an elevation of 1716 feet. We took a 3 mile hike through the park and were the only ones on the trail. There were a couple of fantastic views.

Tuesday was also a full moon, so we planned to go to the Full Moon Party at the Bomba's Surfside Shack. It is a beach bar built with whatever scrape material that happened to be laying around the island. However, that is apparently WAY over the top, so we decided to go to Paradise Bar on Cane Garden Bay first, and then swing by Bomba's later. But, we stayed at Paradise too late to get a cab back, so the owner had his cook drive us back at 2:00 in the morning once they closed. We had a great time needless to say!

Lunch time
I think there are as many chickens as people on the island. They just walk right through restaurants and shops.

An architectural marvel
