Day 6 –Tortula, British Virgin Islands

The ship was moving slowly last night so it seemed a lot more still than usual throughout the night

I woke up at around 5:10 am from a dream, I was frightened and worried so I couldn’t go go back to sleep, I decided to go outside on the deck till sunrise. It was pretty quiet with the exception of an old lady sketching part of the ship on a small notebook. The ship ancored at 7 am at Tortula, a nearby Virgin Island.
Went back to the cabin to wake up the guys, they were deep asleep – we all got ready and made our way to Cane Garden Bay beach the route there was up and around a hill, crazy local drivers but seemed they’ve been doing this forever, maybe easily with their eyes shut. Made a quick stop at a local shop for grapes mangoes and water, also some Cadbury chocolate since it was a UK island.
The sun was hot, perfect weather to swim, we chose a place a little further from most tourists and went straight in the cool water, it was great. The white sandy beaches stretch forever most people would describe this place as a paradise. After all the swimming we saw a guy selling coconuts, he had a huge knife and kinda looked like a Bob Marely, the accent too was Caribbean. Maybe the best coconut I’ve had yet. Then we saw another Bob Marley, with sunglasses and a basketball shirt selling fresh juice and started mixing our own fruits
After going back to the ship, we went to see a show called sharkbait, two really funny talented guys who use to perform at universal studios Japan, then 5 comedians from Chicago did some stand up comedy, picking out people from the audience and putting them in the spotlight – my youngest brother being one of them. After that I went back to my room and got a voice mail from my mom, it was the dream I had, so I can say it was more of a vision I had early this morning
