GRAND TURK, TURK AND CAICOS, UK- SUNDAY, NOVEMBER 10, 2013

GRAND TURK is the capital island of the Turks and Caicos, as well as the historic and cultural center of the islands.  It is here that Christopher Columbus first made landfall on his initial voyage to the New World in 1492.  Almost 500 years later, US astronaut John Glenn “discovered” Grand Turk himself, after he became the first man to orbit the earth.

We enjoyed the “Ultimate Snorkeling Adventure” exploring the waters of one of the world’s top dive sites.  We went to a pristine coral reef near the uninhabited island of Round Cay and explored the reef and saw an array of exotic fish.  Then onto Horseshoe 
Reef where we snorkeled in 6-12 feet of water and saw an amazing myriad of colorful fish.
Back to the ship and the Sunday Night Football game between the Broncos and the Chargers.  The fun never stops!!

Beautiful flowers!!
