Today we swim, snorkel, and shop in Sint Maarten. First we take a water taxi to Philipsburg, the capital of St. Maarten.
To the Water taxi
After transferring to another boat, we all arrive at the floating Tiki Hut.
Floating Tiki Hut
Isn’t this beautiful? That pool has water from the Caribbean and we saw tropical fish there, eating bread. Bucket’s dad is already in the water.

It looks fun, but again, no snorkeling mask in our size. Some humans are enjoying stand up paddle boarding.

Oh this exciting. We, the Colorado Traveling Ducks, are swimming with Bucket’s parents.
We are swimming in the Caribbean Sea
They are having a little problem keeping us together. This is so much fun. We are bouncing along on top of the waves. Back on the Tiki Hut, we ducks needed to rest and lounge in the sun.

Swimming can be tiring, but it sure was fun! Look what we saw.
Fish
We could see the fish under water. We looked through Bucket’s parents snorkel mask! Bucket’s parents are on the floating platform, waiting for another snack.

We already ate lunch here, but they are hungry again. Taking ducks swimming causes hunger. It is time to leave the floating Tiki Hut, so we take the first boat back to Philipsburg. Then another water taxi to the ship. This is our cruise passenger shopping area.

Beautiful tropical flowers also. These steps are very inviting.
Let’s wander
Let’s explore. We like these crafts that are for sale.

Following our moms on a shopping trip is exhausting. So, snacks and beverages anyone?
Snacks anyone?
Have a seat humans. There is just a little time before we board the ship, so hurry.

You sure do have a great time when you travel, Ducks! Did anyone buy anything this time?
We do have fun. No major purchases. T shirts, local inexpensive jewelry, and homemade local jam and jellies. Basic souvenirs, small gifts and reminders for us of fun here. Thanks for reading and commenting.
Lovely and I find it really cool how you include the ducks into your posts. It’s quirky in a nice way.
Thanks. The ducks are the stars of the blog. We humans have fun accompanying them on their adventures. And, of course, ducks give a good size perspective for many photos. We do try to have fun everywhere and it is amazing how many people will talk to us and ask about the ducks. Thanks for reading and commenting.
