We had a lazy morning. At 9:00 AM, we met Kim and Ilene to go to breakfast. Always a ton of good food to consume. I had poached eggs on english muffins with a hollandaise sauce. Pretty good. We all eat way to much for every meal. Pretty sad...but pretty fun. :-)
At about 10 AM, we got off the boat and headed to a beach area. Everything is provided for you here...beach loungers, beach covers (you'll see in the pictures), food, drinks and even floaty devices. I naturally wanted to try and snorkel here. So once Denise was settled, off I went looking for reef or rocks where fish might hang out. I did find a man made breaker and snorkeled along it a couple of times. Unfortunately, this area is sandy by design for easy swimming. That causes the water to be quite mirky and not clear. Nonetheless, it is fun to watch sea creature lurking in rocks or in the sea grass at the bottom. I could do this all day long! It is so fun.
For lunch, they had BBQ's set up in certain areas where they cooked fish, chicken, ribs, hamburger, hot dogs, salad, and of coursed stuff for dessert! Hard to take...as much as you want any time you want while you were there.
At about 3:00 PM or a little after, we headed back to the boat to get ready for formal night. It is lobster night. Can't wait. More to report in a few hours!
Lobster night it was. Huge Lobsters! Yes! We also had Beef Wellington with great appetizers, a cold pea soup (which I did not care for) and a Kale Salad. Kim and Ilene ordered an extra Lobster but were too full to eat it all...so I helped them out. My pleasure. After dinner, we once again attended their theater. Tonight was their premier show. It was rock music with a set of dancers and acrobats trying to create a Cirque Solei atmosphere. I really enjoyed it. After the show, we came back to our staterooms to change our clothes. We then went up to the highest deck to lay around, talk and see the stars. We also went to check out the fitness room. It was really nice....at the front of the boat so you can watch the boat sail while you work out. But I made a dcecision early on that I was taking a break from working out while on the boat. Anyway, we were back in our cabing around midnight. We then decided to order room service for breeakfast tomorrow. We have never had room service. So since it is a free thing...we're dong it!
Well, last day tomorrow and then we head home. We are both thrilled and grateful for our trip. But we are also excited to get home.
A Royal Caribbean boat parked next to ours. Ours is on the right. Approxametly 5k people came off the two boats and turned this Haiiti penninsula into a very busy place!
One of the many maps on the penninsula....
A beach view. If you look closely out over the water you will see cables for the zip line. This is where it concluded.....
This is looking in the opposite direction down the beach. Up on the hill, you can see a small tower. That is where the zip liners would take off from and zoom down and across the water. All for a cool $95 for one run!
Ilene and Denise enjoying the shade in their own 'tent' like thing....
Me and my GoPro. As you approach your ship, they give you water or punch and hand you a towel that has been frozen in ice. Feels so nice after a hot day!
A group of Haitians singing and dancing as we approached the ship on our way back.....

If I was with you we would have zip lined! That sounds awesome! So jealous of your trip! So fun!
