Today, we went shopping in St Thomas (USVI). Since Tortola is pretty small, and we needed a bunch of things to make the house more enjoyable to live, we took the 10am ferry to Red Hook. After clearing customs on St. John, we arrived at the dock. From there, we took a taxi to the carrental place, where we (obviously) got a car for the day.

Driving around was pretty fun, we found the mall (eventually), and had some lunch. At that point I got reminded again how horrible US water (and thus, sodas) taste. But anyway. We shopped and got a lot of stuff (towels, plates, knives, forks, other basics). A little searching later, we found the Cost-U-Less, where we got some bean bags and chairs. Since the car was filled to the top (literally), we decided to head for the dock, and catch the 3pm ferry back to West End. Returned the car, and loaded our stuff on the boat..

At first, I thought we brought a lot on board, but in the end, there was a shitload more from other people. Seems like this is the normal way to go shopping ;) A speedy trip later, we got back to Tortola, cleared customs (paid $40 or so for the whole bunch), we were ready to grab a taxi to the appartment. Turned out noone could actually take us up the hill. No one from the office was available to give us a ride either, so we took a taxi to town, to get a company car there.

In the end, we got everything where it needed to be, and at night we had a perfect dinner at Spaghetti Junction ;)
