Got the $5 taxi back to the port, took a couple pics of the sign, bought 2 tshirts and went to the room to shower all the sand and sweat off, to find my favorite towel critter of this cruise...

Prince Charming wanted to show me the way to the beach but I already knew it. Getting away from him was a challenge, but I prevailed. I later learned these white minivans ARE the local bus system but no regulations or oversight. A lot of Carnival cruisers prefer the "safety" of Carnival excursions, etc. but this experience was immersive and I would definitely do it again. 20240217_124139.mp4

I stumbled upon a stand with older model minivans for local transportation, kind of a bus terminal. I found a sign for Grand Anse and asked the driver how much. He said $1 and shoved me in the van which had locals sitting on laps and reggae blasting. No AC and it got pretty ripe quickly, probably most of the aroma from my seatmate. 20240217_124420.mp4

We docked at St. George's. I had a blt with extra bacon, crispy, from the deli and it was great. I took some pics of St. George's and Grand Anse beach from Deck 15 before heading out to explore St. George's by foot, then take the $5 taxi to Grand Anse Beach. My plan was to get in the water a while then find a bar with a great view. I knew my chances of finding a view that equaled Magens Bay Beach in St. Thomas were slim, but I was hopeful.
