Cruise Day 6- GRAND TURK

THURSDAY NOV. 16th

Everyone had told us how beautiful Grand Turk was, so we couldn't wait to go exploring. 

On Grand Turk we found some golf carts to rent for the day. We doubled up, so they were only $48 a couple!

We had fun driving all over. We were actually looking for a nice beach and couldn't find a road that led to one. We did plenty of exploring and really got to see lots of the island. We saw some beautiful flowers and...

...lots of donkeys. Everywhere. They just run loose I guess, like dogs! We also saw lots of devastation from hurricane Irma. Trees were still down on some of the back roads, houses torn up and roofs and fences down. Lots of trash everywhere, power lines down & no power and lots of empty houses. Then, the worst part, we were getting eaten up by mosquitos every time we stopped!!

We did finally find a beach! We were the only ones there!

And we found LOTS of beautiful shells!! So many we couldn't take them all home!  They were just on the beach waiting for us to find them! 

The water was nice and warm too! The boys went snorkeling again, the girls got some sun and we found a little place to have some lunch before returning to the boat. 

Once back at the port, we found that most of the people had just went to the beach right at the port. Well, they missed out on seeing all the rest of the island!

Back on board for our final day at sea!!
