The next day, we were signed up to take a tour of the island. Phillip had done some research before we left and the Joe Knows tour was the most highly recommended. It’s a land and sea tour that lasts most of the day. We started out on the Joe Knows boat with our two crazy tour guides, one of which was named Big Al (Phillip got a kick out of this).
We saw some beautiful scenery along the way and stopped for a photo op at the Pitons. 
The Pitons - the highest points on the island. Our tour guide took our pictures at various points in the day, always insisting that we do some silly poses. So, this is us being silly.
After this, we went snorkeling. It was my first time to snorkel so it was a little awkward at first, but after I got the hang of it, I really enjoyed it. The fancy camera is very fancy, but not quite fancy enough to survive encounters with water, so there aren’t any pictures of our snorkel adventure.
Then, we got off of our boat and headed to see the volcano. 
The island's active volcano.
We coated ourselves in the volcanic ash mud/clay/paste and took a quick dip in the sulphur springs. There were several unfortunate cheesy photos (including the classic prom pose) our tour guide forced encouraged us to take, but those shall remain viewless. They asked us to keep our face masks on until we reached the waterfall.
Phillip getting beautified.
Just your average Tuesday for me though.
We got back in our van and traveled to the waterfall park. After a short hike through the rainforest we ended up at a beautiful, warm waterfall.
Then, we went back to the beach for an authentic island lunch, including a banana casserole made with unripened bananas (which taste and feel more like a starch). 
After lunch and a quick trip to the bat cave: 
We stopped and went swimming in the Caribbean. Finally, our tour boat dropped us off on our resort’s main beach. It had been a long day, which our butler apparently knew, so he’d prepared a couple of surprises for us when we got back to our room. 
As I mentioned in Part I, I really loved this giant tub.
Joe knows, good vibes y’all.
The next day we spent the morning on the beach before going out on a snorkeling excursion.
The second round of snorkeling was the only thing we would change if we had it to do over again since our boat ended up taking us to the same place we’d been the day before. It was still fun to see some more of the island on the way though. 
And that takes us through Wednesday. Stay tuned for the final installment of the honeymoon story, and then, back to reality.
