Our ship docked in a sunny Aruba port overlooking the most
developed island in this particular Caribbean journey. There were many freighters on the horizon,
planes coming in regularly to the airport, and full size buses parked on the
dock waiting to take passengers on tours.
We could see a few little hills in the distance but other than that all
we could see was lots and lots of buildings – even those in the port area were
in good shape except for one that is apparently being refurbished.
While it was pretty out, we really had no desire to get off
the ship. We figured we could enjoy the
weather just staying put and spending time out on the decks. The humidity was greatly reduced and there
was a nice breeze as we enjoyed our breakfast out on the back deck.
Despite the nicer weather, we decided to do our walk on the
seventh level inside so as to enjoy the air conditioning and not get all
sweaty. Besides we could enjoy seeing
all the spots around that area devoid of people since so many were off and exploring
the island. One thing we noticed was
that the cruise planner’s office was open so we stopped in to ask some
questions about a possible cruise in early January to celebrate my 75th
birthday. Maybe we will and maybe we
won’t but at least we got the lowdown on what is available and the prices. That apparently is a real cheap time to
travel so it is inviting.
Ken and I decided to take advantage of the reduced number of
people on the ship and attempt to use the laundry so we can leave with more
clean than dirty clothes especially since we don’t know if we’ll have a home
when we get back. We still haven’t heard
anything from the service center at LazyDays. So we spent the remainder of the
morning getting the wash done and enjoying some reading time.
The early afternoon provided more reading time as well as
time to write on the computer. We
attempted to use the WiFi on the ship but had not success getting on so
couldn’t load yesterday’s blog but I always do enjoy a game or two on it as
well. So it was a lazy afternoon till
4:30 when we had another Pop Choir rehearsal followed by dinner.
The fun moment this evening was providing a bit of the
entertainment at the OctoberFest Party in the Piazza. Our pop choir entertained by singing
Edelweiss. Mary and Steve, one of the
couples we’ve been enjoying dinner with came down to be a part of it and took a
couple of pictures for us. We then
enjoyed some chat time with them before calling it a night.
