AAAAAAHHHHHHHH WE LOVE SEA DAYS

AAAAAAHHHHHHHH WE LOVE SEA DAYS

Yesterday, we both enjoyed morning naps and afternoon naps and sitting on our balcony, before heading to meet the gang for Trivia - don't ask. We enjoyed the St. Paddy's Day party and then back to our room to change for dinner at Signatures, the specialty French Restaurant. This morning was more of the same, morning nap followed by a trip to the library for more books. I am on my 5th book already. We are now putting down anchor and plan to take the tender to Devil's Island to explore on our own. We will miss Trivia today as well as a planned tour through the Galley Kitchens. We have also had to cancel two planned tours to the Bridge because of shore excursions. I wish they would offer them on sea days instead of landing days but maybe they are too busy at that time.
We are planning a 'cocktail party' tomorrow for the Trivia gang. It's another sea day and they want to see our 'penthouse'. Good thing we have our butler, Bobby, to make all the arrangements for us.
We put down anchor at the three islands that make up the complex of Devil's Island prison colony but despite many attempts to launch the tenders, the captain decided that it wasn't safe enough to board them. At times the tender platforms would disappear under the water and there was a metre difference between the platform and the tender. I assuaged my disappointment with an ice cream cone. We went to trivia and came second! Tonight we have decided to stay in for dinner. Tomorrow we enjoy our last sea day. Hard to believe that we will be back in Canada in a week.
