St. John Vacation - Day 3!

Friday morning we woke up early and headed into town to catch our New Horizons Charter to the BVI's that we had booked! The crew was really nice on the boat and even provided breakfast. We arrived at the Baths in Virgin Gorda before we knew it and were so excited to see these huge boulders. There was a short trail to the beach, and some of the people on our tour were hilarious. They obviously had never hiked before, and Kyle was cracking me up mimicking them, climbing rocks instead of walking on the path.
It was beautiful. Man the water is so gorgeous.
We relaxed at the beach for a while then started hiking to go into the boulders
Once you hike for a while around the boulders you arrived in this cave. (It's famous because of Tyra Bank's Sports Illustrated Cover)
Our next stop was to snorkel at Diamond Reef! One of the crew members had brought food so fish came flying from everywhere. It was really fun even though we had to wear the life jackets.
The next stop was Marina Cay for lunch, which was absolutely delicious. We ate nachos and a chicken wrap with our group, and enjoyed the beautiful views of the water!
And last but definitely not least was the Soggy Dollar Bar on Jost Van Dyke. This is an island where they do not allow boats to beach themselves, so everyone has to swim in. There is a famous bar there where everyone gets "painkillers" and pays with their soggy dollars. While Kyle was scoping out the bar I chose to take a nap in one of their hammocks. It was awesome!

The charter was so much fun. We would totally recommend it! Once we got back to St. John we changed and then headed back into town for dinner. We had heard so many good things about Morgans Mango, so we ate there. The food was amazing (again really expensive), but since there is no AC in most of these restaurants Kyle sweated the entire time. He was cracking me up. But they also had live music so that was really fun.
And that was Day #3!

I can't believe how beautiful the water is!!! And I'm kind of upset you didn't take a picture posing like Tyra at the Baths! :) But for real, this seemed like such an amazing vacation you both look so relaxed and happy!
