St Thomas USVI |
About a year ago, we booked a trip with some good friends to charter a boat and cruise the islands of the BVI. We were sure Covid would be finished by now, but it was not to be.
We had lots of postponements, a cancellation of the trip, then a rebooking of the trip, getting Covid tests and even a flight cancellation 7 hours before our departure. We did a lot of scrambling to make this trip happen, and we were so glad we did! All 6 of us had a wonderful time, but many times were wondering if it really happened.
3 Days in St Thomas April 16-18,2022
We spent 2 nights on St Thomas before taking the ferry to the BVI. Glad we had this breathing room to relax a bit and not be stressed about keeping deadlines. Flights were unreliable right now and ferry service is running with limited capacity and less runs. This downtime was great to enjoy the tropical weather and wonder downtown Charlotte Amalie.
We spent 2 nights at the very charming Olga's Fancy
It was a beautiful location on the hillside, but did not have an elevator - I don't pack light and 68 stairs was a challenge, but definitely worth it.
The views from the room were beautiful
The Hotel as located in French Town, a character filled area of Charlotte Amalie, and very near the ferry docks for easy walking distance to get to our transportation to Tortola BVI.
We had many walks around the waterfront in Frenchtown and to some very fabulous restaurants.

Good Bye St Thomas, We're off to the BVI |
