This was to be a great day in the port of Punta del Este, Uruguay, which is supposed to be the summer playground of the rich and famous of South America. We were going to take a tour to an island and be able to swim with the sea lions.
At 7am, the Captain woke us up to tell us that the seas
were too rough for the tenders to operate safely and that we were going to
bypass the port and go on to the next port and of course have a sea day today
instead of a port day.
So we went back to sleep and after getting up and Ed eating
breakfast, we out on the deck to get some sun.
It was very windy, but we were out early enough to get a good spot on
the pool deck.
We stayed there until noon and went to the Aqua Spa for
lunch and then realized that maybe we had been in the sun too long.
So we came back to the cabin, cleaned up and walked
around and did a little shopping in the gift shops.
Then Ed played a short session at blackjack and didn’t
win so it was time to go back to the room for our nap.
After our nap we dressed for dinner and watched people
and listened to music until it was time for dinner.
Dinner was good as usual and then of course we went to
the casino where Barb lost and Ed won a little.
We stopped play after only an hour because once again there
was no one at the blackjack tables to play with.
All in all it was a very relaxing day – maybe too
relaxing and this is the reason we will never do a cross-Atlantic cruise as
there would be just too many sea days and not enough to do.
Not many pictures because there wasn’t that much we did!!
