We docked on time on the dutch side of the island and met our tour guide, Danny, who gave us a tour of both the dutch and French sides of the island on the way too and from the Butterfly Farm. Very interesting location, although not as big as I had thought it would be. Took many pictures and learned a little about how to “grow” your own butterflies at home.
Stopped in Margot, on the way back to the ship for a little retail therapy. Matt found his hat for this trip, which was a good thing as today was sunny and a high of 27 ... very humid as well.
Took the water taxi to downtown Philipsburg, the capital, for more shopping. There is a store here called “The Yoda Guy” which houses some memorabilia of star wars, although you have to make a purchase to see any of the good stuff, or to take pictures. Very disappointing, as the “art work” if you can call it that, was expensive. $57 for 2 collectors cards, a yoda stamp and a pic of the artist hold Yoda, and his signature. Needless to say we left empty handed and a little disappointed.
The nicest thing today about Princess is that they now meet you on the pier as you approach the ship and give you a cold wet face cloth =) Ahhhh, so nice after a day in the hot sun.
Had some pizza and the best waffles we have ever had for a late lunch and now doing a little laundry and having a rest until the comedian/magician show tonight.
The magician, Justin Flom, was very good and nice that he had a little comedy in his show as well.
Retired early for the evening as Matt had a headache, and wanted to make sure he was well rested for our tour tomorrow.
