---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
On the second day of our cruise, we arrived in St. Marteen. The island is divided between the French and the Dutch and has 37 beaches. We started out our morning walking around near the port. Most of the streets were very poor, but the beach was gorgeous.
We walked around and looked at the shops for a few hours and decided we wanted to head to another beach. It was between the largest beach called Orient (also contains a nude beach area) and a beach called Maho. We decided on Maho beach, because it is famous for airplanes landing literally at the end of the landing strip right by the beach.
We originally watched the planes from the little beach nearby, and one came by and blew people away! It was neat to watch, but I bet that sand hurt! We chose to walk over and watch a few planes from underneath! It was such a site to see and I would love to go back!
Here's me waiting for the planes:
It was such a beautiful day, and such a wonderful experience. We took it easy and went to a "honeymooners event" on the cruise which basically introduces us to other honeymooners. I'm usually not big on that type of thing, but I figured why not try it out!
We ended up back at the club that night and partied the night away yet again!
Stay tuned for part 4 coming soon!

I've always wanted to go to that beach where the planes look like they're going to land on the beach! So much fun :)
