THE US VIRGIN ISLANDS

The two main islands that we visited were Saint John and Saint Thomas.
Saint John is a huge Nature Park with some areas reserved for habitation whereas Saint Thomas is more commercial and rather bleak.
We particularly enjoyed our time in Saint John. Plenty of swimming, snorkelling and walking in the forested hills.

Every day brought another vista.
We did a tour of the islands before our guest arrived, and then revisited the main attractions.

THE BRITISH VIRGIN ISLANDS. SUBLIME.!

Our final destination this season was to be the Virgin Islands. That means the British Virgins and the US Virgins. Unfortunately although they are called the Virgin Islands they do not allow free passage between them. You have to check in and out (customs) between them.
Our time in the BVIs was amazing and highlighted by the visited of our youngest son.
The waters of the islands are the clearest in the Easter Caribbean and the large variety of islands gives you a new destination and adventure at the end of each days cruise. The only disadvantage was the over population of 'Charter Catamarans'. They frequented all the best spots and took all available moorings. On the other hand they also brought amusement and wonder.!
