Jost Van Dyke

This island never disappoints.  Corsairs, Foxy's, Soggy Dollar... see if you can spot where Gibraltar can be found on this island (check spelling tough)?

White bay, Jost Van Dyke

Another day, another beach!

Pet Lizard

At the Easter Parade on Virgin Gorda I spotted this kid who kept a live lizard on the top of his hat as a pet!

Easter Festival

The Easter Festival in Virgin Gorda has a bit of a reputation for fun... fun by BVI standards... anyway on Easter Monday they hold a carnival type parade which was worth the 3 hour delayed start!
 

The Baths

The must see site in Virgin Gorda is the Baths and Caves.  This is a National Park which consists of a pretty beach with granite boulders which you crawl and walk through to get from one beach to another.
 
Personally I find Spring Bay Beach just before the baths to be a nicer beach and the Baths tends to be over done with cruise ship passengers all over the beach.  Despite these draw backs the Baths is a nice beach and getting through the caves is a great way to spend 15mins!
 

Virgin Gorda

Went to what many call the prettiest island of the the BVI, Virgin Gorda (Fat Virgin) for the long weekend.  You catch a ferry from Tortola and 30 minutes later you arrive at Spanish Town.  Not many roads later we made it to Leverick Bay which is where we were staying.  This is a little resort in the North Sound which is where we were based.  Virgin Gorda is a very quiet town and even with the Easter festivities in full swing it was till quiet.  Great way to spend a lazy Easter weekend.
 

Trellis Bay Full Moon Party

Third full moon in the BVI so this time we went Trellis Bay which is great fun.
