The photos below are what we saw.
Out on
the bay, there were tons of jet skis and tour boats.
Kathleen's
sister, Dee, talks with a new friend on the beach.
After
lunch, the beaches started to get crowded.
Jessica
goes for a swim at the beach.
There
were many areas on the beach with lounge chairs and umbrellas
for rent.
We were
going to head over to Orient Beach, so we hiked back to the ship
to meet our bus. Our ship, although big, is totally wimpy
compared to the other vessels in port.
There
was a very cool dolphin statue next to the cruise ship terminal.
The sign
says it all.
Across
the harbor was the commercial dock and this container ship was
unloading cargo.
We met
up with our bus and headed out for Orient Beach. There
were some very nice places on the surrounding hills.
This is
one of the main highways and all the streets are narrow.
As we
crested the hill, we got a view of the eastern portion of St.
Maartin and could see one of the other islands in the distance.
There
were some nice ocean view homes up the hill from Orient Beach.
At the
south end of the beach is Club Orient, a resort where we have
stayed in the past.
