Grand Turk, Turks & Caicos April 22, 2012

This morning we docked at the island of Grand Turk, the capital of the Turks & Caicos Islands. The four of us had pre-ararnged to rent a golf cart from Nathan's Gold Cart Rentals for the day. We puttered all over the island, enjoying the wild donkeys, the cranes & herons on the salt flats, and the scenery in general. We drove out to the historic lighthouse, and then returned back to the south part of the island for lunch (and a rum of course!) at Jack's Shack. They really do have incredible jerk chicken there - yummm!
