The next morning we found ourselves docked at the island of St. Maartin (also spelled as Saint Martin).

This is all the people looking over at the island:

We took a 2 and a half hour scenic tour. Unfortunately, the bus had tinted windows so I couldn’t really take photos during the tour. Our guide took us through the entire island pointing out how on the island there was two of everything. This is because there were two sides of the island, a French and a Dutch.
