Welcome to St. Thomas
We spent the day in St. Thomas on an NCL eastern Caribbean cruise,
We visited an older outdoor aquarium and a butterfly farm. We also took a gondola trip to the top of the mountain in town for some great views.
It was a really nice island and I would certainly go back and just hang out some.
