St Johns Island

Back to the vacation pics.....
These pics are actually from our last day on vacation. We took the car ferry, which was a first for all of us, over to St John's so we could drive around and explore it a little more in depth. First we drove to Cinnamon Bay, very beautiful, and found donkeys on the beach. Yes, wild donkeys. As beautiful as it was there, we got back in the car to find some sugar mill ruins. When we got to where we thought the ruins were, we found a trail that went right across the shoreline. Somehow we got in our heads that this trail took us to the ruins. No, this trail took us over a mile past the ruins to Watermelon Cay. Very beautiful and we witnessed some sea turtles swimming around, but not exactly where we meant to go. So back to the car we go and decide to head over to Coral Bay to get something to eat. More wild donkeys on the road, and a soccer team made up of goats. ;) So, here's a note to anyone going to St Johns in the off season....almost every restaurant in Coral Bay is closed until the busy season. We did eventually find a place to eat, but you will note here that I am utterly exhausted. After refueling, we headed back to our most favorite beach, Trunk Bay. We stayed as late as we could, until we got concerned we might miss the last ferry back to St Thomas. We stayed long enough that we were the only people left on the beach. There's something so amazing about having one of the world's most beautiful beaches all to yourselves. Anyway, that was our last day there. There are so many great pics, that I had to do the slideshow thing. Hopefully, the colors will look ok. They've been looking a little crazy in past slideshows. I blame it on Flickr.
