New Years – 2018 – Day 8

We sat outside on our balcony when we first got up and wow was it hot and very humid - the first island that was humid like this.  It is still about 85 degrees as it was on the other islands; however, there are no clouds and no pollution in the air.  Of course, we are also closer to the equator.

We left the ship at about 9am to just walk around the port as we have been here before and there was no need to go on any tours.  We ended up also walking into town and just had fun going into a lot of local and also tourist shops.  There was also a beautiful church that we visited.

It is a beautiful French island, but it is also just like the other islands we have seen.  They are just fun to be visiting.

There was a long walk from the edge of the port to the ship; however, they had pedal cabs to take you to and from the ship, which we used.  We got back on the ship in time to relax a little and then meet Jeff & Vera on the back of the ship for lunch.


Then of course we were us on the pool deck in the sun for a couple of hours.  Our tans are not as dark as we have been in the past because we have not been able to use oil as the sun has been too hot.  Today was the first day we used oil.

We also stayed the longest on the deck – 2 ½ hours before going in to clean up.

Next of course was people watching and then the show which was a Beetles Tribute band which easily was the worst performance of the week.  It really was the only show that we didn’t like all week.

Tonight, we said goodbye to the staff in Blu, our nightly restaurant as tomorrow the casino is paying for our dinner in the specialty restaurant called Tuscan Grille.  Tonight Sara, the Guest Relations Manager’s wife joined us and we her and her husband to join us tomorrow night.  Should be fun.

Then it was onto the casino where Barb broke even, and Ed lost – now we are in losing territory with one night to go.  Hopefully it will turn around tomorrow night at the casino.
