The sea is emotion incarnate. It loves, hates, and weeps. No matter what you say about it, there is always that which you can’t. Christopher Paolini − Listen, everyone here is wearing hats, and I am without a hat. − Listen, well, that is what happens. In essence, all people are just different. Hello friends!

It is Heads and Tails. Please forgive me. This is Heads and Tails, and we flew to the Virgin Islands. − By the way, there is a legend that it was Christopher Columbus who named them that way. Apparently he was inspired by the nature of these places.

− What a fascinating legend! This country is called “virgin” because they are waiting for their only one who will come (Nikolai with a gold card) and release them. − Yes, indeed! Yeah! I have been married so many times that I do not believe in these men’s legends at all.

− By the way, men are different and their legends are different as well. − Well, yes, yes, yes. − Heads! − Tails! − Come on! − Oops. − What do you mean by “Oops”? And what did you expect? After all, we are honest with our audience.

− You know, you are not too shy either. After all, you do not hesitate to take away my gold card and give me only 100 dollars. You are not shy at all, Kolya. − These are our rules, Alina. Frankly speaking, if I could change something, I would not change anything.

− You know, every coin is important now. The Virgin Islands are Caribbean gold. Indians, pirates, Spaniards, Englishmen, and Danes fought for them. Now they are considered the most beautiful islands of America. The Virgin Islands are the territory of America. As you already know, in America, everyone loves big cars with a powerful engine.

Therefore, I decided to keep up with them and rented Jeep Wrangler. Legendary American SUV (sport utility vehicle). The father of all Jeeps. The name of the company has become a household name and now all the cars that can cope with bad roads are called Jeeps.

However, the Jeep Wrangler is considered the most passable among all SUVs. This is exactly all that you need for an island covered with jungle! So, let’s rush to the new adventures! Oh, listen! What is it? I guess this is a convertible.

Holy moly! I have a convertible Jeep. The roof is hidden by hand. That is, now I have to take it off and carry it to the trunk. Initially, the Jeep was a military SUV, in which reliability and indestructibility were valued. Yeah… It is a bit stressful. Nevertheless, it is reliable!

In short, this Wrangler is the most popular car on the island. Sure, it looks massive, beautiful, and very epic. However… when you go like this and the sun just shoots you in your forehead

(unfortunately, I cannot say otherwise), it becomes unbearable. I do not want to burn like Joan of Arc (i. e. Jeanne d’Arc). Therefore, I will put the roof back. Convertible. This convertible dumped on my head.

Well, here is the first activity for my weekend. All right, that’s enough. It will no longer be a convertible. This was the convertible for the last time in my life. Now it will be just an ordinary Jeep. So sit down! Let’s go!

Since we are in America, there is no need to change money. And they exchange a large bill for me in public transport. Public transport in the Virgin Islands is called “one-dollar-bus” or “a bus for 1 dollar”. These are such coloured buses without windows and doors. So what? It is hot outside.

Air conditioning is expensive. And it is cheap and cheerful as is. It is comfortable and good ventilation. Cool idea. With such a view, you can go on a bus, right? This is not like our buses, where you can always hear “pay your fare”.

One-dollar-bus stops on request. You should push a button, go out, and pay. Well, now I understand. I feel much more solid! Yo-yo! Wait! Wait! Wait! So… Well, we played a little bit in a rich life and now we are back in reality. Oh, do not fly, do not fly, and do not fly.

The Virgin Islands are more than sixty islands in the Caribbean. The biggest of them are Saint Thomas, Saint John, and Saint Croix. We started our acquaintance with Saint Thomas. Here is the capital of these islands, i. e. Charlotte Amalie.

The city, like the islands themselves, lives at the expense of tourists who come here on cruise ships. Well, and also on their own yachts. Wow, what a beauty! And the roads are bad. And why? Because the Virgin Islands are not famous for their roads and road junctions but for their beaches and views.

And they even regularly enter the tops of the islands with the coolest views and beaches! Local turquoise of the sea and emerald hills (abundantly overgrown with tropical greenery) pull travellers here like a magnet. We have to admit that not all cities here are interesting for walking.

Especially if you are on one of the islands in the Caribbean. However, the reason why tourists come here can be shown in one picture — the beach and the sea. Nothing extra.

One gets the impression that it is from here that they take all the shades of blue colour for paints. Take a look! There are turquoise, ultramarine, dark blue, and dark green. Why are we sitting here? We must go down to the beach! Yes, we need to go to the beach.

After enjoying the first impression of the local beauty, rich tourists go to settle. The most popular accommodation in the Virgin Islands is villas. By the way, there are not so many villas here. That is, they are there, however, if we compare them

With other resort cities in which we have been during the sea season, there are not very many of them. Well, first, getting here is rather difficult, since there are a lot of flights and transfers. Yeah, it is also expensive to live here, as renting a villa costs you a pretty penny.

Nevertheless, when you have a gold card, you do not care about it. My villa is called “One beautiful day”. This is a six-tiered luxurious modern palace. Renting which will cost me SIX THOUSAND DOLLARS A DAY! That is, a thousand dollars per tier. Listen, this villa is so huge.

I do not even know how to show it to you. There are more levels in it than in Super Mario Super Mario… Super Mario! Hence, my supervilla consists of a game room with a pool table, a bedroom with a private terrace, a guest bedroom,

A bedroom with a huge bathroom, and another bedroom with a bathroom. And as a bonus, there is a huge living room, which we consider in more detail. In fact, I will give you a little tour of this wonderful party place.

This hall is the place where all those who live in the villa come together. Well, when more people live here than I do. This is a game zone. This is a huge table of King Arthur. Here you can play Mafia, Elios, etc. Move on.

This is the perfect place for a master class. Here sits the viewer and there is a cook who does miracles. Here is the so-called home theatre. You see, here are the VIP places and there are those that usually nobody buys. However, there everyone sits down — this is how it happens in cinemas.

Nevertheless, this is not the end. Oooh! Listen; here is just the perfect view. The sea. The mountains. And the forest! Directly opposite Kolya’s villa is the most popular beach of the island, that is, Magens Bay. Once there was a haven of pirates, and now pelicans, as well as tourists, hang out here.

Entrance fee (i. e. five dollars per person.) required. Let’s check what they are taking money for. Infrastructure. Everything is there — chaise lounges, umbrellas, different cafés, bars, dressing rooms, as well as ladies’ / men’s rooms. Here everything is OK with infrastructure.

Concerning the population density, people rest despite the light density and very strong heat. They have a wonderful mood. Contingent. People here are very active and athletic. They are not quite fit. However, they can be understood as well. The national dish here is a burger. Understand and forgive.

The sand is very soft. Nevertheless, it is not perfect. Because it spoils the first impression about water. Because of it, the sea seems very muddy and dirty, although in fact it is azure. Ahh… Yeah… Therefore, I had to start with this.

That is, go into the water and talk about the beach and infrastructure. Water temperature is just perfect. I will walk. I will put it “A-”. And now, my dear friends, let’s move on to the dessert. And let’s take a closer look at my private beach.

Private! It is often difficult to make out where the beach is private and where it is public. Because there are no designations or boundaries. Here there are boundaries. Just look — here is one and there is another. Moreover, these borders are natural. It is private by nature.

Let’s look at the pros and cons of this private beach. The first plus is that nobody is here. All the territory is entirely yours. So you can do what you want here. You can even sunbathe naked.

Here you can even dance. You can do whatever you want. Minus. Here you will not be able to meet with tanned beauties. Unless, of course, you bring them here in advance. Plus. There is a personal bar with cocktails… however, a minus.

It is located on the second floor. Therefore, while you go up for your Margarita cocktail and go back down, you will already sober up. Plus. The beach is in the bay. And what does it mean? It means that there are practically no waves here. Hence, you can swim all your free time.

And, finally, I would like to state (sure, not without pride) that almost all the villas on Saint Thomas overlook stone cliffs. And there are very few villas with such a personal private sandy beach.

They are worth their weight in gold. Therefore, I am proud that I chose it Can I become a real estate agent? In general, it got “A”! Just look, look! Look at these insolent people. There is no respect for personal space here.

Outsiders ignore the fence and the information that this is a private beach. After all, your public beach is located there. Therefore, please take sun beds, buy cocktails, lie down, and sunbathe. This one is private.

And the cunning ones thought that it was possible to bypass obstacles in the water. I will put sea urchins. That is where I lay them in a row. Look, they do not even go to the beach. And I cannot say anything to them because the beach is private and the sea is public.

Of course, this is a minus of private beaches. You can tell people as much as you like that this is your private beach. However, you cannot prove it to the ignorant. In addition to the beach in the capital of the Virgin Islands, there are a few more attractions. Public library booth.

Woohoo! Man! It is very touching. You can take a book for free. I also want to do it. I will learn English. I will start with Newton. Photozone. Nevertheless, the main attraction of the city is the Blackbeard’s Castle. For a century and a half, the island of Saint Thomas belonged to pirates.

And their leader, a pirate named Blackbeard, even built his castle here. It was from this castle that he monitored ships in the harbour. And when he went to the sea, he locked his beautiful wife in the castle.

Nevertheless, getting into the castle is not so easy, since you need to overcome a steep staircase in ninety-nine steps. Do you think it is boring and uninteresting? However, they say that there are not 99 steps but less. Hah! I am going to find it out.

One-two-three-four-five-six-seven-eight-nine, 23-, 24, 25, 26, 27… 46, 47, 48, 49… The enthusiasm diminishes a little. 61, 62, 63, 64, 65, 66. Ninety-six, ninety-seven… ninety-eight… ninety-nine… I think it was a trick. So that people can check for sure whether there are 99 steps. All in all, it is fun. I advise everyone to do this.

90 steps. 99. To the castle! Blackbeard’s Castle. What could be there? Probably there are some old cards and chests. Probably there are no treasures there, but nevertheless, they are old, you know, which were got from the bottom of the sea. What? It turned out that the castle is now closed for reconstruction.

Actually, it was necessary to write on the first step that it was closed and not when you had already risen. All the main entertainment in the Virgin Islands is in the sea. Therefore, I rented a boat and swam on an adventure! And I chose the most interesting adventure, that is, scuba diving!

There are already hunting dogs. They swam there. All participants (i. e. instructor and me) dive. I also went hunting. It will be hunting for an inexpensive traditional lunch. − Hello! How are you? − Everything is excellent, thank you. − Welcome to our café. − Thank you!

− Here is the menu, you may choose. − Oh, it is so big. Can you advise something? I want something traditional but inexpensive. − You may take our soup of mashed potatoes, carrots, and clam. Here you are! Here is your soup. Enjoy your meal!

Well, frankly speaking, it looks not super delicious. Now we will try. Well, that is. You know, this is from the category of useful soups. It seems to me that here is a clam. It has no special taste. It is not salty, it is generally neutral. It is delicious.

It is a budget choice. For comparison, French fries cost about five dollars. I think it is better to eat a bowl of soup for eight dollars than French fries for five bucks. First of all, you get more and it is more useful. And the most important thing is that there are clams.

And this is high cooking. So, the first law of the hunt. First you need to choose the object of hunting. So… What do we have here? Look! Here is an electric ray hidden in the sand. Its meat is considered a real delicacy;

However, this comrade can shock you well. Therefore, we move on. And here is the Caribbean reef shark. They say that the steaks from its meat are very tasty. However, you can become a steak yourself. And here comes the second law of the hunt. Select an object that you can handle.

The instructor advised me to concentrate on lobsters, which are also considered a delicacy. The Caribbean is just teeming with all sorts of lobsters and achelata. The difference between these guys is claws. The difference between these guys is in their claws.

However, since they do not differ in taste and look the same on a plate, the locals are not steaming and call everyone lobsters. Lobster hides in the reefs under the stones. And to find it, you need to try hard.

Nevertheless, this is not the end. In order to pull it, you need a stick with a rim and fair persistence. Five minutes of fierce battle — and you have lobster in your bag. Well, listen. Just look what a trophy! It is perfect.

Silence please! Let’s make a lead-in. Oh, it reacts like that. Good. Now I will eat this lobster with the full knowledge that I deserve it. Well. I met Saint Thomas. It is time to expand the geography of my holiday.

With such a bundle of money as I have, you can see all the Virgin Islands. Well, almost. Hence, my next stop is Water Island. Water Island is often called the companion of Saint Thomas. This is a small picturesque island, which is literally “across the road” from the main island.

Every day water buses go there. The ticket costs only ten dollars. And it is for both directions. Oh, this is very convenient. They give such a plastic card on which the schedule is written. That is, you know when you can go back. From 8 a.m. to 6 p.m.

Some ten minutes by sea and you can say “Hello, Water Island!” Right here, near the ferry boat, when you sail, there is a free shuttle to the beach right away, where everything is fun. Water Island serves as a shield for Saint Thomas. When tropical hurricanes rage here, it takes the brunt.

Therefore, there are no hotels or other fundamental structures. They would just blow away. And tourists come here just for one day to have a good time on the beach. Oh, right there is a disco in the water. That is how the problem has been solved for those who are especially hot

And do not want to get out of the water. Bar, which is located right in the sea. And here the girls have already resolved the heat situation. From young to old, everyone relaxes, has a rest, drinks strong drinks, and is cooled in water.

By the way, it is very harmful to do it in the sun. Every day there are theme parties on Water Island. Today I came to the celebration of Saint Patrick’s Day. Here, all the entertainment is free. And if you are a pretty girl, then you will also be treated for free.

I just change men like gloves. It does not even matter here… a boy with a girl… here guys are dancing together, girls, everybody… and even dogs! There is little entertainment on the Virgin Islands. However, now their number will increase by one person.

Fascinating attraction called “Find a hundred bucks from Heads and Tails”! Hooray! And we are starting! Now, now, we will hide a prize, so that you understand what you are fighting for with the elements — look; here were the stones, the water, and the sunset.

If you are on the island of Saint Thomas, which is part of the Virgin Islands, then go to the Yacht Club. Get through the bushes to the beach. When you go down, the treasure from Heads and Tails will be waiting for you on the left in the rocks.

We did as a grandmother taught, that is, to bury or roll a pebble on top. Roll a pebble on top. Just look, it looks like a cast. Mosaic, puzzle! Ready, and now I am going down. No, no, no, this is our boat. Damn… Stop-stop-stop! Ahhhhhhhh! Ahhh! Oops.

This is the last boat. We must check, wait. Now I have this card. Card-card-card! Oops. This is the last boat. Okay. We have several options — by swimming, which is not a very personal option. And the second option is to stay here until the morning (at 7-8-9 a.m. you can leave here).

Second one, right? No problem, we will improvise. Here is a sunset. Look! Hello! This is a culinary and evening show called “Nighty-night, me lovelies”. And today we are going to cook lobster. Why will I cook lobster? And not some chef for 2 million dollars? Sooo?

Because I pulled this lobster from those stones. It lost its moustache in my presence. So. To cook our lobster, we first need to cut it. The fact is that I do not know how to cut it.

Well, I just did not have that experience. Therefore, now I will do it for the first time. And, frankly speaking, I do not quite understand the bue aaaaa, it is now splashing, right? The edible part of the lobster is its tail. So I cut it, right? Why are you smiling?

Then you need to remove the meat from the shell. Let’s cook it right in the shell. Because somewhere I saw videos and photos, where it was being prepared right in the shell. Because I am afraid that if I take off the shell right now,

The meat will not remain here. I tell you that I am an aspiring cook. And I have just started my career half an hour ago. After that we send the meat to the grill. Ahh, it is hot! And… We should wait five to ten minutes.

Of course, I am nervous. Because it is my first lobster. I worry about how it is there. Has it roasted evenly? Has the blush gone or not? However, so far we cannot look. Because when you open the lid, the heat goes away. Therefore, for some time we need to live with it.

Well, OK! I am strong. I will wait. As I already said, there are no hotels on Water Island. Therefore, I spend the night right on the beach. Look! Here is the bed in the form of a lounge chair. However, please wait, this one is much better. Hammock!

Oh, oh… Spending the night in a hammock is just super. Romance! That is enough. Sasha. And you can get there on a sun lounger. Perhaps the first lobster is always lumpy. It is possible. However, it is not so important.

Because look how many cool things have happened to it. And catching it is unrealistically a cool impression. And then the way I cooked, butchered, and now eat it. Whatever it was. Do you know what the highlight of men’s cooking is?

This is a presentation of the dish itself. Sure, we are men. We have a better understanding of it. Well… Let’s get started! So listen. Well, it is delicious. Really. Listen, our lobster is perfectly cooked. I was so worried, I was so worried that I would spoil it. In fact, it turned out super.

They say that the meat of the lobster improves brain activity and also normalizes sleep. Therefore, I finish it now and go to sleep. You know what sensible dreams I will have here. Hmm… I wish you sweet dreams. Good morning!!! Hurrah! Sun!

There was such an awakening. Now I will try to get up very gracefully. One more time. That is it. I will go and see the neighbourhood. Great! There is nobody here at all!

I decided to spend the second day on the most distant of the Virgin Islands, that is, the island of Saint Croix. You can get there only by seaplane. It will cost you six thousand dollars and take half an hour.

It feels like we landed on the same island from which we took off. They are all the same here. Nevertheless, you see, all these Caribbean islands are very beautiful. Blue sea, gorgeous mountains, and green leaves are everywhere!

Finally, waiting for my water bus, I went to the island of Saint John. It cost me thirty dollars and took half an hour. The third island is Saint John. Saint Croix is famous for the fact that it was the first of the Virgin Islands where Christopher Columbus set foot.

At the same time, local tribes accepted him with hostility. And it was here that the first battle of the New World with the Europeans took place. However, I came here not for historical monuments but for entertainment.

There is little entertainment here. Here are the three main ones. The first one is to ride horses in the sea. The second one is to try the local rum. And the third one here is the best snorkelling in the world.

Well, the locals say so. Unfortunately, I do not have much time. I will have to give up something. Therefore, I think whether I should refuse to ride horses in the sea. Or snorkelling. Oh my God! What a smell! And what about rum? And rum can always be here.

Saint John is a reserve island. It is the greenest of all the Virgin Islands. Here you can easily meet flamingos, brown pelicans, and iguanas. Nevertheless, I came here for the sake of snorkelling, as they say it is even better here than on Saint Croix.

Let it be so. I left the snorkelling to Alina… As for me, I chose entertainment that budget tourists could not afford him- or herself. Swimming with horses has a therapeutic effect. It normalizes blood pressure, improves digestion, and even (as they say) relieves insomnia. Really? Do you believe it? Relieves insomnia.

Really? Do you believe it? Relieves insomnia? So what therapeutic effect? It is really cool! Just imagine: horses, sea… Wow! It is fun. We have already swam with dolphins (yes, with anyone) but not with horses. However, if swimming with horses is usually a leisurely walk in shallow water along the coast

(I already feel sleepy), then swimming with horses on Saint Croix is REALLY SWIMMING with horses. Wow, I went into the water on a horse! Just look: it walks into the water! Oh my God! Yes! It is swimming! Ahaha! Wow! I did not think that was possible.

It turned out that horses, just like dogs, are capable of swimming if they need it for some reason or simply like water procedures! Since ancient times, people around the world have used horses to transport themselves or some kind of cargo across lakes, rivers, and waterfalls. It certainly will not swim across the sea;

However, it will spend a ten-minute evening walk down the neck in the water with pleasure! Well, these are some very mixed and unusual impressions. Because on the one hand, I am on a horse. Nevertheless, I am in the sea. And I am not on a seahorse. Yeah!

However, it did not warn that it was shallow here. I did not think it would be so exciting and thrilling. That is awesome! While Kolya is tormenting a horse, I am already doing snorkelling. Snorkelling on the island of Saint John is… COOL! The water here is as clear as spring water.

It is warm as summer rain. In general, you can dive as much as you want! And if you sail a little further from the coast, you will find yourself in the fabulous world of the coral reef. However, please be careful, since the corals are soft only in appearance.

In fact, they are hard and very sharp (just as a razor). So you can easily get hurt. Sasha, I have a work injury. So. Fish, they said. It will be fun. The Virgin Islands is the squeeze of all that we like in the sea holiday.

– The sea. The mountains. And the forest! The warm sun. – Sun! Soft sand. Clean sea. – Do you think it is boring and uninteresting? And entertainment that will appeal to everyone! – Aah… aah! Silence please!

– Ahh… Yeah… Therefore, I had to start with this. – The beach is private and the sea is public. – It is like a disco in the water. – Wow, I went into the water on a horse! – Fish, they said. It will be fun. – What a beauty!

– No, no, no, this is our boat. – So, let’s rush to the new adventures! – Great! There is nobody here at all! – Kolya, hello, hello, hello! – Hello, hello, Alinka! How are you? – To be honest, there is such boredom, Kolya. Such boredom! Things are good.

The sea is beautiful, the nature is gorgeous. However, I was on three islands and they are all somehow the same. Here retires are everywhere: in bars, on beaches, in discos. There are grandparents everywhere. – Listen, by the way, I had a lot of fun here. Moreover, I caught lobster myself using these hands.

And I cooked it with these hands! Can you imagine it? I cooked it myself. – Bread-and-butter man! – Alina, can you imagine what could be more attractive than a man in the kitchen, hm? – Well, except that a man with a naked torso who sits on a horse!

– Ahaha! Bingo! 100 out of 100. OK, not a word more! Let’s finish our TV show on this piquant note. Bye! Good night. Let a man with a naked torso who sits on a horse come to you in a dream. – Have you seen him?

– Yes, I have, Alina. Moreover, I will show him to you. Now we need to find a horse. – Did you mean yourself?
