Dinner at Mafolie Restaurant, Charlotte Amalie, St. Thomas
Pretty much everything on St. Thomas is closed on Sundays, but luckily, the restaurant of the hotel where we were staying, which is known for it's amazing views, was open.
Callaloo Soup $8
This soup was really good. The last time we had callaloo was in Jamaica. It is sort of like spinach, but with a bit more body. The soup was thick and spicy and very good.
Conch Fritters $9
The conch was a little chewy, but these were pretty tasty.
Cavatappi $19
This pasta was tossed with grilled Italian sausage, diced tomatoes, mushrooms, and crushed red chili and doused with a creamy herb sauce. It was very rich and Alexis could barely finish half after eating the appetizers.
Caribbean Lobster $38
Caribbean lobster served in the shell, stuffed with crab, and served with seasoned black bean and papaya rice. This was very good, but too expensive.

Snack at the Octagon Bar and Snackette, Charlestown, Nevis
On our way back to the boat from the beach, we needed a snack and we were looking for another patty. However, we found a little outdoor bar (full of locals) with some interesting looking food. It turned out to be a really tasty, and very cheap. Those whole me came to $20 East Caribbean Dollars, which I think is about $7 USD,
Johnny Cakes
Fried little dough balls. These were great for soaking up the soup.
Turtle Soup
This was the first time we'd had turtle, and in this preparation it was very tender. The skin was a little funky, however. This soup was heart, a little spicy and really good. We also loved the little dumplings floating in the soup.
Fried Fish with Hot Sauce
This was a decent, simply prepared, flavorful piece of fish.
