We got to see a lot of neat views from the top of Tortola, including our ship, which looks small from the top of the mountain!

Range free cows on the edge of the road!

The animals (cows, chickens, horses, goats, etc…) were not fenced in so you would see them on the roads or standing next to vehicles grazing.  They had no one where to go since they were living on the island.

Beautiful coves and beaches on the island of Tortola!

The water was beautiful!  Tortola had gorgeous beaches on various parts of the island!

Tortola had beautiful flowers throughout the island and along the side of the road!

Police to the Rescue - traffic was stopped due to an accident!

Tortola’s roads were steep and curvy.  Thankfully, we weren’t in an accident but were held up for a few minutes by one.  The police finally came and outlined the cars in the accident so traffic could once again flow!

Party place on the island in the evening, the seaside Bomba Shack!

The Bomba Shack by the ocean is said to be the party place for the islanders in the evening.  It was an interesting sight!

"Shack for Love" the Bomba Shack

Couples that get married in the Bomba Shack can sign their names inside.  No pictures were allowed inside the “shack”.

Pink house with a purple roof!

We took a picture of this “princess” house to show our little princess!  It was a pretty pink house with a purple roof view an amazing view of the island!
