Southern Caribbean Cruise – Day 6

My adventure continues today in St. Maarten.  This island is actually split into to countries – one side is Dutch and the other is French.  We docked on the Dutch side in Phillipsburg….traveled to the French side to do a Tree Top Ziplining Adventure and then came back to the Dutch side to shop and bask in the sun on a gorgeous beach!!!  This was my FAVORITE island by far!!!!  We had so much fun on our adventure and I'm VERY good at basking in the sun on a gorgeous beach….I think I was born to do that – LOL!

 

Here's my little traveling Sock Monkey in St. Maarten

The Zipline Adventure was by far my favorite excursion of the trip….it was also physically demanding!  We climbed up a tree to a platform in the rainforest – hooked outselves up to a cable and flew through the jungle to the next platform….where we would have to walk on a single cable to the next platform…or maybe across a rocking wooden bridge….it required a lot of upper body strength!  There were 12 platforms in all – SUPER fun!  Here's Hailey sailing from tree to tree!

What a sweat ball!  About 1/4th of the way through all the platforms – we were all drenched in sweat!  Stampers are NOT suppose to sweat – LOL!

I thought these wild flowers, growning in a field were very pretty…
