Our Cruise!!! Part 2!

This is all of us outside on our balconies leaving St. Kitts. Even Mark, all the way at the end...kind of a fun pic!


 We LOVE our balcony! Pretty sunsets every night!
Our 3rd stop was Dominica. We were so excited to go back to this island after visiting my sister there a couple years ago. It was fun to be able to show everyone around to the places we really enjoyed last time. I met up with one of Sindy's friends and gave her a bag full of goodies from Sindy and she actually ended up spending the rest of the day with us and being our tour guide.
This was by far one of the highlights of our trip. Mr. Nice has a fruit stand on the side of the road, only accepting tips. He was HILARIOUS! I think we could have all sat and listened to him all day. He had all sorts of different fruits to try and the kids just loved him. They actually stopped on our way back through for one more picture with him.

Kade and I at Emerald Pool
After Emerald Pool we went to Jaco Waterfall. It was pretty too!

After that we went to sulpher springs where this local was accepting money for pictures with his snake. EWWW did he stink!!! So we generously nicknamed him Mr. Stinky to go along with Mr. Nice.

After that we went to Trafalgar Falls. We had been there before we this time we swam there. I didn't take our camera down there because there was a lot of rocks you had to crawl over, but it was so much fun! The water was so clear you could see all the fish swimming around you.
On our way back to the ship we drove through a botanical garden and there were these trees with what they call cannon ball fruit. They said that if they fall off you don't want to be any where near them because when they break open they stink to high heaven! They kind of look like cannon balls too!

There was also this school bus that had been smashed by a huge tree during a hurracaine I think they said in the 80's. It was the only school bus on the island at the time, but luckily no kids were inside.

Goodbye Dominica!
It happened to be Valentines Day and that night at dinner all the girls got a rose....aww.
