Turks & Caicos!!! After 4 years since I first heard about Turks and Caicos at my Bahamian internship, I finally made it to Grand Turk!
Amanda and I decided to take a tour of the city - had to be the biggest waste of money and time... Our first stop on the tour was the airport... where the bus BROKE DOWN... after a auto truck came and jump started the tour bus, we headed tot he town to see local houses that used to have some historical meaning, when the bus stopped again... we then made it to our first stop on the bus... a salt house. Grand Turk used to be a large salt exporter, however not anymore - "no slaves, no salt" the tour guide told us. There were a few posters to read and a pile of salt.. but we stayed there for 30 minutes... it was actually longer as we waited for another bus to arrive.
Next stop... Light House where we had a gorgeous view of the city and were only given 10 minutes to stay there. We got to pet and play with a wild donkey and overlook the island, which was gorgeous. THen we proceeded to head back.
We then went to check out the beach, which had a lot of seaweed and was overcrowded with boat people, so we headed to Jimmy Buffet's Margaritaville. Margaritaville was so awesome - it was a pool-bar, 3 feet deep! It was so much fun and so peaceful - probably my favorite place in Grand Turk! ;)
Good times! :)
