Where Do You Buy Your Trip Souvenirs When You Travel?

What could be better than a T-shirt, a drink, and a view?

Today, we visited Mountain Top on the island of St. Thomas in the Caribbean. It’s a huge souvenir store, stocked with every possible item you might want to take home.

We’ve been there three times, once for each of our trips here. We’ve bought T-shirts, hats, sunscreen, and magnets. But up until today, we never had their most famous product — a banana daiquiri. They were yummy — made fresh.

Besides souvenirs and daiquiris, this shop has an observation deck that allows you to see over Magen’s Bay on St. Thomas.

Magens Bay USVI.

Souvenir shops abound here. I like to take something home and the last trip I did. It was a bag from the St. John Sailsack Company, not available at Mountain Top.
