Day 1: Arrival and Stunning Views
We arrived at The Pink Palm Hotel in Charlotte Amalie, perfectly located in the heart of the action. Though the first day was uneventful (we had been up since 4:30 AM!), the breathtaking view from our hotel made it worthwhile. Tomorrow, we vowed to explore the island's treasures.

Day 2: Exploring Charlotte Amalie
Walking through town, we covered about six miles under the Caribbean sun. The historic old town, just three blocks from our hotel, offered charming cobblestone streets, shops, and incredible views of anchored cruise ships. While it was quiet after the ships departed, the vibrant energy of the day made up for it.

Day 3: Brewers Beach Bliss
A short 20-minute taxi ride brought us to Brewers Beach, a peaceful haven with crystal-clear waters perfect for snorkeling. Watching planes take off from the nearby airport added a unique touch to our beach day. Despite brief showers, the sun shone brightly, creating a serene atmosphere. Back in town, we had lunch at Greens, a Mexican restaurant, and ended the day poolside.

Day 4: Magen's Bay Magic
Our Sunday adventure took us to Magen's Bay Beach, one of Saint Thomas's most iconic spots. The heart-shaped bay with calm turquoise waters is ideal for kayaking or paddle boarding. A morning rainbow over the bay made this experience unforgettable! On our way back, we visited Fort Christian, built in 1671, and enjoyed lunch at Bumpa's Café overlooking the ocean.

Day 5: Venture off to Saint John's
After breakfast, we took a 45-minute bus ride to Red Hook, where the ferry port is located, to catch the ferry to Saint John's, just another 15-minute ride from Saint Thomas. Once there, we took another bus ride to Trunk Bay Beach, a national park, and we had to pay a $5 entrance fee per person. It was worth the trip as this is one of the most beautiful beaches in the Caribbean, with very calm turquoise waters and white sand. It was not crowded either, making it perfect for a walk on the beach, snorkeling, swimming, or soaking up the sun. After a few hours, we returned to Cruz Bay and enjoyed a delicious lunch at a local Sun Dog Cafe.
