We took a cab to Magen's Bay, very calm relaxing day. Magen's bay is very beautiful but doesn't quite have the wow factor that I thought it would. Fairly busy but still lots of room and not too hard to find a quiet spot. Lots of fish and wildlife around...
Took a cab to Marigot in the morning, had some pastries, walked around but none of the shops were open. The market was just touristy junk, in my opinion. Then we took a cab headed for Mullet Bay but, our taxi driver convinced us to spend the day at Maho, he said he was born and raised on St Maarten and said we would have a great time if we just went straight to Maho. Boy was he right! We had an awesome day, the highlight of the trip. Beach was gorgeous, a little busy but we didn't mind that. The planes were so cool and we even saw a 747. Food at the sunset bar was really really good, organic chicken caesar salad was one of the best I ever had. Clean washrooms and a shower to rinse off, easy to get back to boat, could not have asked for a better day.
Originally planned to stay on the ship but ended up spending most of the day shopping and at Senior Frogs with some friends that we met on the ship. Was actually a really great day :)
