The Officers on the Bridge are hard at work

Bliss. An almost empty ship!!

 

 

 

These guys are right alongside us refuelling....

 

 

 

Cloud-capped Nevis in the distance

 

[NorbertsNiece]

Can't get to the helipad this way

 

 

 

 

I do another tour of the ship..... people often ask what they can drink at the Cafe Promenade :

 

 

This chocolate is very sweet imo

 

 

Our neighbours have the window cleaners in.....

They appear to be unloading rolls of carpeting.....

We saw you in San Juan on Sunday morning, Adventure newly arrived again to her home port in the US ! We left OSJ at 5:30 AM for a 7:50 flight, and there she was newly berthed! Welcome back!

 

We were on Jewel and saw Independence in several ports making her way back from "across the pond", but apparently didn't share any ports with Adventure.

 

Hope you and the boa had a safe flight home:D

Yeap; boa and I had a lovely visit in VA on the way home :D

 

 

I think this is a new pier

 

 

 

How early is this!! Hardly anyone else is here!

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

Tourist-less

 

 

 

 

 

Peaceful, deserted beach....

 

[NorbertsNiece]

The ferry scoots straight back to the pier.....

 

 

Finally. My pigeon pic!! I know you've been saying to yourself.... hmmm.... Linda tries to get a pigeon pic in when she can..... 1st element needed..... land!!!

 

 

Philipsburg is fast asleep still

 

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

There has to be a local market

 

 

Still awaiting occupants

 

 

 

This makes me chuckle

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

Here are the current taxi prices from the pier

 

 

 

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

 

 

I have a very blurry image of the Gluten Free Bread Only sign in the Windjammer..... not about to inflict that on you!

 

 

I so love this breakfast!!!

 

 

Windjammer drinks

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

Clear as mud

 

 

How you can tell there are Brits on board (the Malt Vinegar is just there):

 

 

 

These guys....

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

But here's a pic of some sushi.... like you've not seen some lately

 

 

And here's that lobster you were looking for.....

 

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

This is the line I joined for immigration at 7am

 

 

As I turned the corner in the MDR the line went through the galley.....

 

 

......and out the other side.....

 

 

I couldn't resist grabbing pics on the way through the galley

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

I got none of the items on the first two cards

 

 

 

How'd you like your steak?

 

 

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

 

 

Again I'm ashore before most.

 

 

 

Still asleep

 

[NorbertsNiece]

 

What the new envelopes look like

 

 

Cable cars are running

 

 

Busy port area

 

 

 

Looking for stragglers

 

[NorbertsNiece]

Moonrise

 

 

Sunset

 

 

Pilot comes in real close

 

 

I just missed watching him switch vessels

 

 

 

Love these luggage labels from someone's bags in the hall
