Anguilla

I'm back from another cruise with Mr. Higgins and his parents.  We were aboard Royal Caribbean's Legend of the Seas for 10 days.  Despite it being an older, smaller ship, we really enjoyed our time on board.  We had two sea days, five port days, and then two more sea days.  It was the perfect itinerary!

Our new port this trip was Anguilla.  The cruise ship did not take us there but it took us to St. Maarten. There, we got a taxi to the town of Marigot, on the French side of the island, and boarded a ferry bound for Anguilla.  The water was super choppy and I've never had a turbulent and unpleasant ferry crossing....but we made it.  

Once on Anguilla we took a taxi to Shoal Bay.  And it took our breath away.  The water, the sand...everything was perfect!  We got to spend three hours at this lovely place and that was not enough!  I'll have to explore more beaches on this incredible island!

With this sailing of Legend, we set foot on 8 islands: St. Thomas, USVI, St. John, USVI, St. Kitts, Nevis, Dominica, Antigua, St. Maarten, Anguilla.  Wow!
