Take to  your feet and you use the 'greenest' means of transport possible and,  more often than not, you arrive faster than anybody on four wheels. Our cruise ship had just docked in Charlotte Amalie, the capital of the  Caribbean island of St. Thomas. I saw that the town center was  approximately 2 miles away and decided to walk along the ocean front up  to the 99 steps which I wanted to visit. My fellow passengers were not  inclined to follow my example and headed for the buses and taxis. "Two  miles," one gentleman huffed, "you can't walk  that!!" No? I thought to  myself. Watch me. Charlotte Amalie is a small town and the roads are not equipped to  accommodate the sudden influx of thousands and thousands of cruise ship  passengers, all arriving at once and all headed for the same direction.  Result: they got stuck in a traffic jam and looked slightly miffed when I  overtook them on foot, happily waving at some very long faces.  Moreover, I arrived at the 99 steps and the World Amber Museum well  ahead of the crowd and had the place to myself. </blockquote>
