| The ferry and a tender heading to Isle of Pines |
We are doing a tour here as we really want to see what is beyond the beautiful beaches and see what the town looks like. Our tour meets in the Wheelhouse Bar where we get our tour number and wait to be called to our tender.

| Heading to Isle of Pines |
It's a pretty short trip on the tender, like all of our stops and once off we get our photo taken and walk towards our bus. It's a huge, full size coach with airconditioning - they do warn you when you're booking tours that the transport maybe older style with no aircon but we lucked out!

| Not rustic in the slightest! |
It was a good tour to do, quite fast but nice to see further a field and not just the beaches. Our first stop was just a photo op (not everyone got off the bus) of Brush Island - called that due to it looking like a brush!

| Next stop - jesus monument |
The views are always stunning! The water is so beautifully blue. Next stop was a church.
Then onto an old penal colony gaol.

Then back to the main beach at Isle of Pines. The tour was approx 1hr. A quick walk around the markets and then to the beach and a swim. The water was a bit cooler than Champagne Bay but once we were in it was lovely! We just bobbed around and enjoyed being in this beautiful part of the world. Lucky us!

A late lunch in the buffet, afternoon tea on our balcony and then a delicouso pizza at La Scala Pizzeria for dinner. We let our lovely waiters know we wouldn't be with them for dinner so they didn't wait around for us. We also ran into a couple of our dinner mates and let them know as well.
Another fantastic day - we love cruising and we are LOVING the Dawn Princess!
