I loved sitting out on our deck watching the waves go by and here we could see ourselves heading into the Virgin Islands.
Things don't always go smoothly. First when we went to report for our tour on board we were informed most people on the tour had already boarded the tender even though we had arrived on time. when fourteen of us got to shore, there wasn't a bus for us. We were told by the local tour coordinator that somehow a mistake had been made but a bus would be coming back for us. I won't bore you with details but it was an hour before an appropriate bus finally arrived.
But once we were aboard the scenery was quite spectacular!
And our tour guide was very good!
Gorda is the second most populated British Virgin Island, but there are less than 4000 people living here!
It is a volcanic island which explains its dramatic scenery...
After we had toured the island by bus we were taken for a boat ride where the rest of our tour group had been waiting an hour for us, wondering what had happened.
Our boat ride was very pleasant and of course there was rum punch...
We were shown the estates of the rich and famous, such as Virgin's Richard Branson...
Some of our group had gone to the Baths to swim and explore its caves but we just waved.
Eventually we returned to where our tenders came in.
It was very pretty but the shops were not too tempting...
But definitely a beautiful island and I was definitely reminded of my trip to St. Thomas last year.
