Mid-Morning
Center your stroll on Road Town, leaving busy places such as Wickhams Cay I to the office workers and frenetic shoppers. Start at the Post Office, where philatelists can buy the island’s spectacular stamps. Meander up narrow Main Street, poking in and out of small shops selling essentials as well as knick-knacks. Main Street just about ends at Sunny Caribbee (seeSunny Caribbee Gallery, Tortola), where you can browse for Caribbean spices and jams and enjoy the colorful artwork at its sister gallery.
Cross the Waterfront Highway for a stroll through Crafts Alive, one of the best spots to shop for locally made crafts (seeCrafts Alive Market, Tortola). The artisans are often on hand to discuss their wares.
Stop by the waterfront ferry terminal to watch islanders coming and going. Boats leave for the USVI and outer BVIs throughout the day, so you’ll get an eye-opening view into island life as you watch folks lug groceries, huge boxes, and all manner of things onto the ferries. The air-conditioned waiting room provides a chilly respite if the warm weather has you dripping. Pick up a copy of the tourist publication,The BVI Welcome (seeThe BVI Welcome), for a good read while you rest.
Having no doubt worked up an appetite, amble along Waterfront Drive for cold drinks and delicious Italian fare at Capriccio di Mare (seeCapriccio di Mare), a hot spot for locals on their lunch break.
