Grand Turk

 Our last stop of the cruise was Grand Turk...which was not so grand in my opinion.

Sure, the view from the ship was spectacular! 

But up close it was pretty dirty and rundown...and the shopping was disappointing. 

 There also wasn't much to do there. We started out at the beach by the dock... 

...but soon decided to walk along the island to a beach where we were told the snorkeling was good. Once again the view was great, but the beach and the water were pretty dirty. The guys tried snorkeling, but it was so murky they couldn't see much of anything. The worst part was that you had to pay for a beach chair, so were laying in the dirty sand with all of the pricklys and ants. It wasn't my idea of paradise.

You could say we had gotten a little bored when this girly photo shoot began :)

Ben was pretty intrigued by this wall and all of the big waves crashing into it. It was pretty awesome.

I'm sure we would have enjoyed this island more if it had been before all of the other amazing ones, or on a day that wasn't so windy and murky. We did have a beautiful highlight at the end of the day as we left port (There is a rainbow if you can't tell)
