St Martin

Our last cruise stop was St Martin. It couldn't have been a better day. Ben, Lindsey, Brad, Nicole, Mike and I got off the ship and went in search of scooters. After haggling over prices with some shady St. Martineres we found a rental company willing to give us an awesome price. Each couple jumped on a scooter and we were off.

We went around the whole island (both Dutch and French sides) stopping whenever we felt like it. We had an awesome lunch of homemade BBQ ribs and sides. It was delicious!
We stopped at a local market and saw some beautiful tropical fruit and island trinkets. Mike even found the same sword his parents brought him home from their trip to St. Martin when he was little!

We also stopped at the famous Maho Beach. You can almost touch the planes as they land at Princess Juliana Airport. We weren't crazy enough to hang onto the fence right underneath the planes as they land though.

We had such a fun day touring the island. We stopped at the beach, got rained out for about 10 minutes, ate great food, saw the sites and no one got hurt. A perfect way to end the cruise.
