| Virgin Island - St. Thomas |
| Charlotte Amalie |
|
St. Thomas was the
seventh country we visited on the Caribbean cruise in November
2007 and became the 72nd country I visited. The islands that
today is the US Virgin Island have a history that inclueds
Denmark/Norway and their participatian of slave trade from Africa
in the 1800's. So that is the reason why you can walk on
'Dronningens gade' 'Kronprindsens gade' and other with danish
names. At the beginning of 1900 the american started to consider
the islands strategical, and this time the Congress gave the 25
million dollars in gold to buy the islands from Denmark. St.
Thomas is the largest island, but USVI consist also of two other
islands that can be worth a visit.
