We didn't have any plans for Wednesday, so we decided to go downtown. I should have checked the cruise ship schedule first. I think there were 5 cruise ships in port.
As a background, Charlotte Amalie is a bustling tourist shopping district with about a million different jewelry shops and 25 tourist souvenir shops. They also have some nicer upscale clothing shops as well. We were burnt (again) so we figured we'd enjoy the a/c and shade. Besides, we had plans to go to Paradise Point for their Wednesday night sunset party so we figured we'd stay downtown and check it out.
We shopped around a bit, but after being hounded by jewelry shop owners I was pretty much over it. We drove up to Paradise Point (they have a tram that will take you up the side of the mountain for $18 pp, but you can drive up the mountain for free on Wednesday nights). It was really busy. They have a sunset party every Wednesday, and you can see here why:
The view was spectacular. This is above the restaurant - in a gazebo overlooking the harbor (yes, I'm wearing the purple dress again. Love it). We could still hear the music playing below and no one was around, so, we danced around a bit.
Then, for kicks, we did a few crane kicks, which I plan to submit to the Crane Kick Chronicles:
All in all a good day.
I googled myself and came across these. Yes please. Send them in already!
