Last stop... Grand Turk, Turks and Caicos Islands






Our last port of call was Grand Turk. Although very beautiful it was the most undeveloped island we stopped on. What a simple way of life and the people are so happy!! We could learn a lot from this. Ryan said it reminded him a lot of the Philippines. Hurricane Ike hit there about 6 months before, and you could still see the devastating affects of that. The cruise lines have dropped a lot of money on the port, there is a nice beach and pool area with a flowrider and then a lot shops and don't forget.... Jimmy Buffets Margaritaville! We took a taxi downtown looking for some shopping and when we got "downtown" we realized downtown was about 5 multi colored shops with cool native products. We looked around and then spent the rest of the day at the beach. More snorkeling for Ryan and Craig..... more sun for Amanda and I.
