7 night Disney Cruise - Eastern Caribbean - Day 4

Day 4 we pulled into St. Maarten/St. Martin in the Virgin Islands.  St. Maarten is a small island owned by two different countries - the Dutch and the French.  We took an island tour going to both sides and learned a little about the history of the island.  They have two separate governments - french and dutch.  But, you can pass freely between both sides without having to use a passport.




 There was a small shopping area in Marigot - the French capital of the island.  We were able to stop and buy a few souvenirs.  The Dutch capital is Philipsburg.  We did not stop there.



 It was very warm - hot actually!

 What a beautiful island!  Kind of wishing we did a beach tour...although we will get our beach time in at Disney's island :)
