(Drivebycuriosity) - Last saturday my wife and I arrived on St. Thomas. This island belongs to the American Virgin Islands and is part of the Caribbean. We left New York City in winter (below 20F/minus 5C) and arrived - after 7 hours travel (via Atlanta) - in summer (77F/25C).
I really love the climate here. It is not as hot and steamy I know from other tropical places like Thailand, Singapore and Bali (Indonesia). It has less humidity and the climate is comparable to a very nice late May day in Germany. In the moment of writing the sky is blue with shattered clouds. Yesterday we had a quick downpour (maybe 5 minutes), otherwise it stayed dry.
St. Thomas is small, just 31 sqare miles, but beautiful (
wikipedia). Our hotel, the Best Western Pus Emerald Beach Resort, has an own beach, directly below under our balcony, which belongs to one of the plenty bays of the island. I enjoy the tropical vegetation with lots of blossoms. I didn´t see many birds so far, but an Iguanidae who strolled in a park in the town center.
Charlotte Amalie, the largest town there and the capital, has a fascinating architecture as you can see above.
