Domagoj is ready for another adventure.  | One of Many Steep Narrow Roads on VIs. | On all VI (both US and British) islands, driving is on the left side, although the steering wheel is on the left side. This makes driving very confusing, and accidents are frequent. Almost all the cars have scratches and dents. To make the things more complicated, roads are often very narrow and steep, full of elbow curves, and rocks often fall off from steep mountain sides littering the roads. |
| Chickens are freely running around all settlements on VIs like stray cats. While staying in larger settlements, I was regularly woken up around 3am by roosters. | Fort Christian on St. Thomas (US Virgin Islands). | Green Iguana Chilling on St. John (USVI). |
| Green Turtle. | Pan Band on St. Thomas on Christmas. | Dead Mangrove Roots. |
| Cinnamon Bay on St. John. | Breadfruit Tree. In the past, people would bake hard bread, prepare soups and salads out of breadfruit. Nowadays, it's almost impossible to find a restaurant in VIs that prepares anything out of breadfruit. After a lot of search, I managed to try a breadfruit soup, which was really delicious. Bread made out of breadfruit is supposedly very hard, so it's not very popular. | Eleutherodactylus frogs are very vocal, especially in the evenings after a rain. It takes some time to adjust to this noisy little frog, so I didn't get much sleep the first two nights. |
| Hibiscus Flower. | Villas on St. John. | Reef Bay Trail on St. John. |
| Petroglyphs on St. John are attributed to pre-Columbian inhabitants of the island and dated 700—1200 A.D. | Large Golden Weaver Spider on St. John. VIs are notorious after bugs, especially tarantulas, but I haven't seen any (in general, tarantulas are supposedly nocturnal animals). A bug repellent is a must. | Hermit Crab in a Rainforest. These guys are not easy to find. Once a year, they migrate to beaches to release their eggs in the ocean. |
| An Old Sugarcane Mill. | An interesting combination of a graveyard and a luxurious apartment complex. For some reason, graveyards are often located very close to beaches, which I found weird. (Although not shown in the photo, a beach was just behind me.) | Coconut Palm Overhanging the Sea. |
| Coconut Palm. | Pelican Watches the Sea. | Jungle on Tortola (British Virgin Islands). |
| Mangrove Seedling in the Sunset. | Domagoj Opening a Coconut. Fresh coconuts are not that easy to open, it takes some practice and a good machete to open one. | Mangroves Conquering the Beach. |
| Domagoj Chilling on Anegada (BVI). | Anegada is one large beach. | Dead Sea Fan on White Sand. |
| Flamingos in the Distance. Salty marshes on Anegada are ideal for flamingos. | Tropical vines conquering the electric transmission lines and poles. | Sand Turtle. |
| Banana Flower. | Waves in the Caribbean are way larger than anything I've seen in the Adriatic. This is great for surfers, but can be dangerous for snorkelers exploring sharp shallow coral reefs. | Security on Tortola. The store was closed and locked, but the keys forgotten in the lock. |
| Swimming with Horses? | Baths on Virgin Gorda (BVI). | Exploring a Cave on Virgin Gorda. |
| Caves on Virgin Gorda. These huge volcanic granite boulders were left after erosion removed softer surrounding material. Degrading coral reefs created white sand deposited between the granite boulders. | Small Cave on Virgin Gorda. | Domagoj Holding a Boulder. |
| Cruise ships frequent VIs. | Safaris are the most popular transportation on VIs. |
