[0:00] Start -- The track starts about 7:00 AM as we approach Frederiksted, St. Croix. Enjoy the approach as the island comes up over the horizon and our spectacular photos of the beautiful early morning sky. Pause the tour and zoom out to view the entire island including Christiansted, which many people visited on excursions.
[3:05] Walking Tour -- About 9:00 AM we began a walk along the shore. The park next to the ocean is just beautiful. Enjoy our pictures of this walk.
[5:52] Picture Postcard Photo -- About 9:40 AM we took a picture postcard photo of the Mercury with the clear sky behind and beautiful blue water in front. We returned along the street. Unfortunately, this area seems to have had some economic hard times and many of the buildings are need a bit of renovation.
[6:51] Gecko Lizard -- About 9:56 AM we got a nice picture of a gecko lizard, which fortunately did not try to sell us insurance! This was in the neighborhood of the Frederiksted Hotel. We have wonderful memories of our stay there on our first visit about 35 years ago.
[7:16] Vendor Stands -- We walked back toward the pier where we saw our follow passengers, believe it or not, shopping at vendor stands.
[9:03]The Fort -- About 10:11 AM we visited the fort, which offers a self guided tour for a nominal fee.

We then returned to the ship and enjoyed our time on board until departure.
