"Tired of my beeper, tired of my phone
Tired of this tired ol' tie I got on
Sick of this traffic jam that I'm in
We all get sick of it all now and then
When I've had it up to here
I go down there" -Kenny Chesney

St John is the smallest and least commercial of the 3 US virgin islands, and it shows as you reach the dock. It does not disappoint when it comes to solace and breathtaking beauty.
It is about a 40 minute ferry from St. Thomas and drops you off in Cruz bay. You suddenly feel as though you have been transformed to another time before fast food and stop lights. Cruz bay is perfect walking town. It has a few places that are fun to explore when not memorized by the ocean that surrounds you. One in particular is mongoose village. At first sight, you almost think you are entering into an old stone fortress from days gone by. While there we discovered a craft brewery/restaurant called the TAP ROOM. It is located on the 2nd floor of the shops of mongoose village. It is open air and overlooks the shops and courtyard below. This is great for people watching while you sample the local beers.
After you are done with your fresh catch of the day and sampled a few local brews, its back to stroll the shops by the water. Since it is under the US territory, you can stop by the local Post office and send your loved ones a postcard.
One place that is worth a visit is HIGH TIDE bar and Grill. It is located to the right of the ferry dock at Cruz bay. The bar is on the bay and boasts some of the most amazing panorama and some of the coldest beer on the island.
The one must on any trip to St John is to grab a cab and head to trunk bay. There isn't a whole lot that needs to be said that the pictures below cant convey for me.
