grand turk : turks & caicos
our first port on our cruise was to the beautiful island of grand turk. only 7 miles long and 1 mile wide, we enjoyed our time on this little island. grand turk is the 3rd best place for scuba diving in the world because of it's drop-off. as you can see in the photos, the water is a light blue around the island and where you see the contrast in color to dark blue is where the huge drop off is, hundreds of feet down. the water was crystal clear around the beach. kevin snorkeled for the first time! he was itching to go scuba diving, so his next goal is to become scuba certified.
^^ there are wild donkeys that roam the island
we spent our time in grand turk snorkeling and touring the island. we went to the farthest side of the island to see the little lighthouse. the clouds came in for a bit as we walked around the light house and snapped some shots of the coastline. we enjoyed the beautiful beach and ended the day getting sunburned... which was bound to happen with my fair skin.
