Jost Van Dyke Question
Jost Van Dyke Question
If we are on the beach at Foxy's and want to go to the soggy dollar, what are the options to get from one to the other?
Sawed that board three times and it is still too short...
We took the ferry from St John to Jost that arrives in Great Harbor, on a Sunday. After spending some time there, including Foxy's, we returned to the ferry dock and took a cab to over the hill to Ivan's (could have gone directly to the Soggy). There is a fun little path along the beach from Ivan's to the Soggy Dollar... fun just remembering! Anyway, cabs were very available in Great Harbor and can be called for a set pickup/return time. We used Bun's cab - $5 per person, each way, anywhere you want to go - I think. Walking could be done; I am not sure how long it would take.

Yes, a fun little walking path between Soggy and Ivan's... right, Pia? 
Just as a suggestion, when taking the ferry I/the group I'm with have always done the reverse and gotten a taxi immediately at the ferry dock (sometimes easier to come by since they wait there for the ferry) and go over to White Bay for the morning/early afternoon. Then you can either get someone to call you a taxi from Soggy or Ivan's or arrange with your original driver to come back at a certain time and take you back to Great Harbour where you can have lunch at Foxy's or do shopping or whatever.

We always get a taxi the minute we get off the ferry and make arrangements for a pick-up so we don't get stuck without a ride and miss our boat. Sometimes we go to Foxy's or sometimes we start down at Seddy's and work our way back to Ivan's.
As for that path, I have broken a flip-flop and lost my phone, camera and ipod in a wave... Walk very carefully after a few painkillers.

... and that is reason for the progression we took - settle awhile at Ivan's - then have more time and certainly more painkillers at White Bay....Lulu76 wrote:
