Escape to Love City

Danny and I escaped Rock City (St. Thomas) and took the ferry to Love City (St. John) on Sunday Funday to explore the east side of St. John where we have never been before now. After our rainy morning ferry ride, it was about an 8 mile (30 minute) cross by safari to the other side of the island to Coral Bay.
The island life is already pretty slow...the east side of St. John takes it even slower. Everyone is real mellow and friendly. Lots of donkeys, goats and chicken hanging out...they are pretty mellow and friendly, too ;)


Of course, only the finest breakfast for us...

Since it was still morning, we just walked around. Pretty quaint town. No lights, one gas station that is closed down, two or three little stores and three or four restaurants.

Goats in the mangroves! ;)

This soccer field doesn't need a lawn mower!

We stopped at Donkey Diner for a mimosa and Bloody Mary. The donkeys are really nice. I pet and hugged these two :)


We then headed over to Skinny Legs. It's probably the most popular thing in Coral Bay. You sometimes can catch someone in the states wearing a Skinny Legs shirt. I got a fresh Wahoo sandwich. They had homemade curry hot sauce on the table that turned the sandwich into the best sandwich ever!

Then we headed back to Cruz Bay. Had a drink at Woody's, did a little shopping and caught the ferry back to Rock City.

That tree shot looks like one from our BVI trip. When I look at your pictures, I can smell and feel the area. Can't wait to be there.
