THE BATHS AT VIRGIN GORDA

After swimming with the dolphins we went back to the ship had some lunch and then headed to The Baths. We went here 2 years ago on our cruise and they had some of the best snorkeling so Quinn wanted to go back. You have to hike down these rocks and caves but it is beautiful once you get down to the secluded beach. Unfortunately this time the waves were so bad you could not snorkel and there were bugs EVERYWHERE so I could not just relax because they were swarming us, still pretty though!!

Here I am getting ready to walk through the cave
Yes, that is the small hole you have to crawl through to get down to the beach.

SWIMMING WITH THE DOLPHINS

Day 2 Tortola
I have ALWAYS wanted to swim with the dolphins so when I saw this excursion I begged Quinn to take me and he happily agreed!! It was so much fun and a once and a lifetime experience. We got a cute little dolphin named Neptuno he first came along and we would just pet them, they are so smooth and then we danced with him, gave him a kiss and then we had to swim out and he came and picked us up and we went for a little ride, it was so cool. There was thousands of little fish swimming around that freaked me out more then the actual dolphin!!
That asked not to take pictures because of course they wanted us to buy their freaking $25.00 picture, so no picture of Quinn but I had to buy one to show the kids I actually did do it!! But we cheated a little and took a couple while they were not looking.

They kept jumping and doing tricks
