Mountain Top, Saint Thomas (U.S.V.I.)

Our last stop on a tour of Saint Thomas was a bit of an odd one. After stopping at a couple of overlooks on our way up the mountain, we finally reached the top. We were greeted by this traffic circle, which wasn't what we expected.

Welcome to the self-proclaimed world-famous Mountain Top, which essentially comes in two parts. Out the back door is a nice view of the area. The problem, of course, cam be tje weather. Sometimes rain pops up on the Virgin Islands, and the timing was all wrong for us. During our time on the mountaintop, we got a great view of clouds and fog. 

Our tour had a 50-minute stop scheduled. That left more time to examine the souvenir shop, which is on the massive side. If you like this stuff, you ought to be able to find something you'd like here. 

The establishment does sell "world famous" banana daiquiris at a bar in the back near the door to the overlook. A fellow traveler reports that the adult beverage that the cup was about five inches tall, and cost something like $12. He reported that the drink was "O.K," although wouldn't be called a "best buy" by Consumer Reports any time soon. There was a good line, though, and a cool drink of some sort in the tropics is never a bad idea.

At least someone else was there to shoot a video when the sky was clear:
