Today it is Curacao and another of the ABC islands.
Of course, the weather is outstanding. This area is very dry so we have been blessed
with great weather.
We were invited by the Hotel Manager to watch the arrival
from the Helipad at 8:00am. That was fun
as we watched the ship maneuver from that vantage point.
Then we went to the restaurant and had breakfast before
leaving the day.
We walked into town crossing over to the main part of town
on the famous floating bridge. It is an
amazing structure that pivots when boat traffic wants to come into the port in
town.
We walked around for a couple of hours and then went to eat
at a local restaurant. At the end they
gave us a sample of a Ginger Shot – not to our taste!!
Then we went to this huge market and found a couple of items
that Barb really wanted. For our next
trip, this is where we are going to eat lunch after we find someone to tell us
what we will be eating.
On the way back to the ship we stopped in a local hotel and
played a little. We each were given a
free $5.00 slot coupon. Ed lost his $5
and Barb turned hers into $12.64!! Ed
then played a small amount of blackjack and lost.
Next, we walked back to the ship and we had 11,854 steps!!
We went up on the deck for an hour’s sun and then came back
into our cabin to get ready for the evening.
First dancing to some really good music, then a show and
then dinner.
The show was 3 guys singing the works of Michael Bublé ok
and little too loud.
Dinner was in one the specialty restaurants as guests of the
casino. The restaurant was La Petit Chef
and it was an amazing experience and the best meal we have had on the
ship!! It is impossible for me to
describe the restaurant experiences and I will post videos of our dinner as the
last post for this cruise later.
The casino was not good to Ed who had a losing session and
Barb broke even.
Tomorrow is our last island – Bonaire.
We plan to have lunch with the Doctor who started Barb’s
treatment and is not at a hospital in Bonaire.
Night - night
