Cruise - days 3 & 4

Day 3 - St. Maarten
In St. Maarten we rented ATVs and drove all over the island.  Luckily, on this island, you drive on the right side of the road too.  And, you can drive the ATVs along all the roads with the rest of traffic.  We followed the coastline along the main road there and saw some beautiful views. It was my favorite excursion from the whole trip because we got to see so much of the island.
Halfway through our loop around the island, we stopped to cool off at another beautiful beach.
The 4-wheeling gang
We stopped again for some lunch and found this restaurant nestled right against the ocean.  It had a private beach with an incredible view.  The food there was $$$ but it was so worth it because after we ate we just hung out on that beach, collected some sea shells, and relaxed in the shade.


Day 4 - Antigua
We spent the day at Turner beach.   It was another gorgeous day at the beach.  The water is so blue and the sand is so fine it is just beautiful. We spent the day swimming, reading, walking along the shore, and snorkeling.  We snorkeled to a tiny little island and and found tons of fish and crabs.    
Thanks to Tyler for some more snorkeling pics.
After the beach, we hung around the town to do some shopping.  

We tried fresh coconut juice and stumbled across this man who was dancing in the streets asking for tips.  We couldn't pass up the chance for a picture. After watching this man dance for 10 minutes, we saw tons of people drop money in his hat. He probably made 15 or 20 bucks in 10 minutes. If I could find an outfit as cool as his, I could have a new job :) 

Next up - St. Lucia and Barbados...
