Continuing in the cuise adventure, and after having almost sleep 2 hours on the last to days was time to go Into U.S Virgin Islands, on a very short stay of a few hours (like every stop we made during the cruise), it was like the whole island was a duty free zone loads of stores, selling fine jewerly, columbian emeralds,suiss watches,
going beyond the port where all this tourist shopping "wacos" was in an extasy mode, was the city of Charlotte Amalie, a very nice little town with a combination of danish, french and dutch arquitecture.

It's always strange to see how this tiny territories depends entirely of tourism, and no other (at least visible) industrial activities is seen during your stay.

One of the sightseeing spots that is a must in this beautifull island is Magens Bay since is rated as one of the most beautifull beaches on earth, (over rated!) is a nice tiny bay to crowded to be paradise and very expensive, very nice to relax but only that, the best part of this island was the travel on this little buses from Magens Bay to the Cruiseship the landscape was spectacular.

With this very short ride I have to end Charlotte Amalie adventure, not many sotries to say, just to say Good bye.
