Did a taxi tour then had our driver drop us off at the "boardwalk" area to walk around and shop before we made our way back to the ship. We enjoy doing our own thing instead of organized ship excursions. Glad we had a taxi as I do not think we would have enjoyed driving as much had we rented a car.

We strolled around the Dutch beach area, which was nice - nothing extraordinary. I had heard that Orient bay was lovely so we hired a local cab to take us up there for $20. They warned us that this beach was clothing optional but we were OK with that. We did not realize that we were heading into the French side which had endured significant damage in the storms. Very sad to see that and we spoke at length about the whole experience with our cab driver who also took as back after we spent a couple hours at Orient Bay. They are trying to rebuild and keep their spirits up. Orient Bay was lovely, although most of the establishments had been badly damaged. There was one small restaurant open and we enjoyed hot dogs and rum punches there. Simple, but relaxing and easy.

I have been coming here for 35 years. It is not as nice as it used to be. Alot of traffic to get to the beach. Also looked very dirty. I was disappointed.

Traffic jam made the ride from Maho (on a bus, which btw is really a white van) 3 hours long. This affected everyone and RC held the ship for those who were late. The "bus" fare was $2/person. You have to walk about 15 minutes into town but is is much cheaper than the hawkers who want to charge you $8/person. They were stuck in traffic too.
