On day 5 we landed in St. Martin on a gorgeous day! We started by shopping at the local stores to see if we could get any goodies. This was our only day that we actually had time to souvenir shop, so we took full advantage of it! In order to get into town we had to take a water taxi:
After shopping we went back to the ship to grab our suits! We then headed to the French side of the island to visit Orient beach. We had heard many stories about this beach...if you don't know, you need to look it up! Surprisingly at first we were pleasantly surprised because everyone had suits on! Below is a picture of where we had lunch:
Then we tried to go snorkeling because there was supposed to be a lot of fish here....but no fishies! We looked for a while but we only spotted a few zebra fish. When we moved to a 'better' snorkeling spot we COMPLETELY understood the stories about this beach then! OH MY! We quickly walked out of there and went to the beach closer to the ship. I must say...one of the most beautiful places I've ever seen. Turquoise water, sunny days, and tropical fish made the island hopping so fun!
We were a little sad to leave because this was our last stop on our vacation, the next two days were spent on the boat coming home. More to come soon! :)
