Today, we arrived in Puerto Plata, Dominican Republic.
The ship is docked a long way from the end of the pier so we
took a little Tuk-Tuk scoter from the ship to the end of the pier.
Then Puerto Plata is not a town but a made for tourist place
to visit. There were shore excursions
but you had to be taken to them by excursion staff.
We were up on the top deck in our usual spot until 1:00pm
when we joined our friends for lunch. As
we were in port, there were not very people at the restaurant or out in the sun
so that was really nice.
As Barb wanted some lip balm with sunscreen, we went into
the port taking a Tuk-Tuk after lunch.
The first spot had lip balm for sale at $17.00 so we
passed. Finally we found a place for
$10.00 so we took it. We walked around;
however this is not a town were you can walk around. This is a place with lots of shops and
probably owned by one company, maybe the cruise line. So, it is a made for the cruise industry stop.
We then came back to the ship and relaxed until it was time
to get ready for the evening.
Once again we listened and danced to music until the 7:00pm
show.
The show tonight in the theater was 3 guys called NYC3 and
will we had seen them before, we enjoyed them.
Then it was time for dinner and the service and food was
very good.
After that of course we went to the casino where Ed won a
little.
Tomorrow is a sea day and we also will be packing.
It has been a fun cruise but we miss everyone and can’t wait
to be home.
