La mañana prometía; tras los cormoranes, una #abubilla me saludaba desde una antena, y una #tórtola turca posaba en la cima de una araucaria #birds 2️⃣➡️
Virgin Gorda

Our first day on shore for our Celebrity Ascent #cruise was in #tortola and we went over to enjoy the beaches in #virgingorda. They didn’t disappoint.

A relatively cool room inside the gorgeous colonial building of the Old Government House Museum on Tortola for #FensterFreitag today.

For #SchiffsSamstag here's a view from the Old Government House on #Tortola looking back over the bay we'd walked around from our home aboard Grand Princess last month.

Grand Princess, built in 1998, was the first of the Grand-class cruise ships that Princess Cruises, P&O Cruises, and Carnival Australia operate.

You can also see Logos Hope in front, a floating bookshop ship run by a faith-based group.

#Tortola today, and we thought it was going to be more bearable but it's been excruciatingly hot and humid here. We've only sweated more in Vietnam.

A very slow walk brought us to the Old Government House #Museum. Wonderful place and staff, gorgeous gardens.

More slow walking later brought us to the Pusser's Pub for a fantastic rum cocktail, friendly staff, loads of naval memorabilia, and powerful air conditioning.

On the balcony drinking champagne now.

We have cloud cover and a decent breeze on Tortola today. I mean, it's still ridiculously warm (30°C with a "feels like" of 36°C) and humid, but it just feels a bit more bearable. Have I mentioned that we don't cope with the heat and humidity well? Because we don't.

Es llamativa la expansión de la #tórtola turca y su abundancia en el este peninsular #birds

Se extendió por toda la Península Ibérica en el periodo 1974-1990, incluyendo en los años noventa también Baleares y Canarias.
