…ips used to moor in a harbor, which is not far away, but more of a natural bay. “The World”, a residential ship that cruises all around the world, was moored in this old harbor area today but it seems that most ships use the new quay now. If you go through the mall of shops (where more are being built) and go down the road and through a tunnel built in the late 1890s through the hill you get to the old harbor area. This is a very pretty area with…

…hese tours usually head off to Buck Island, where there is the Turtle Cove Bay. Here shoals of tourists snorkel about hoping to spot and swim with the endangered Green Sea Turtles.

At the end is footage I took of him landing and a short interview. I was not brave enough to try it! I was very impressed with how professional, friendly and organized Las Vegas Sky Dive are….
