New Years 2012 – Day 6

Barb and her scrafs!
Again we slept late after a late night in the casino. 

We worked on our tan from 10:00am until 12:30 when, while the sun was absolutely perfect, a big rain storm off to the side decided to dump on us.  We were close to the elevator so we didn’t get as soaked as the rest of the people and wow did people ever run for cover.

It was time anyway to get cleaned up and have lunch before arriving in San Juan. 


Ed's lunch in the Aqua Spa

We ate lunch this time in the Aqua Spa where the food is healthier.  It was nice for a change but probable not what we would eat every day.

We are on the side that passes by the famous El Moro fort so we sat on our deck watching the arrival at 2:30pm.

We didn’t have anything planned except to walk around, go into some shops of course and eat.

We ate at two different restaurants that are owned by the same family.  Our plan was to order a Mallorca sandwich which consist of Cuban bread, ham and cheese which is then toasted on a flat grill.  When the sandwich is ready, they take it off the grill and pour powered sugar all over it.

We must have mispronounced the name in the first restaurant because they brought us a flakey warm roll with powered sugar on it.  So we had desert first and we then left and when a block away to the other restaurant and made sure they understood what we wanted.  So, the pictures shows dessert first and then the real Mallorca sandwich next.

Then we bought a couple of purses for Barb, which she said she really, really needed, bought a Christmas ornament and then bought some Kahula to take on board.

Dinner tonight was at our usual time 8:30pm and it was again wonderful.  The quality of food, presentation and service is many times better than the main dinning room.

Then we headed for the casino as it opened just after we sailed from San Juan.  Both of us did just fine so it was another good night in the casino.
