The
Sleeping Tourist began on Coki Beach in St. Thomas US Virgin
Islands after a few of our favorite carribean drinks, the Bushwacker.
The Bushwacker
is a wonderful drink, mostly alcohol but it tastes like a chocolate
milkshake. While enjoying yet another beautiful beach and yet
another Bushwacker
we decided that we needed to document all of the spectacular
beaches that we have enjoyed in the hope of sharing our favorite
beaches with you to make your traveling experience more enjoyable.
Happy traveling.
The Sleeping Tourist has traveled to many of the best beaches
in the world, as well as many other exotic and beautiful locations.
