THE KAYAK TRIP THAT WASN'T

THE KAYAK TRIP THAT WASN'T

On returning to our room after breakfast, we discovered a message that announced that our Glass-Bottomed Kayak tour had been cancelled because of choppy waters. We decided to take the Catamaran Sail and Snorkel instead even though choppy waters were expected as well. We sailed past many luxury homes with private beaches and yachts moored outside. I have pictures of Oprah's little retreat as well as the owner of Starbucks' home. They are next-door neighbours here. We decided that we wouldn't snorkel but would try a swim. We let the snorkelers go first. When it was our turn, many of the snorkelers started coming back so we never got a chance to get down the ladder into the water. It took them forever to take off their fins and go up the ladder on their behinds so we decided to pass. It saves us packing wet bathing suits. We were happy to enjoy the fresh air but the trip was spoiled by the insistence that we "enjoy" the crappy, extremely loud, "music" blaring out of a lousy sound system.
We are now back in our room planning what to have for dinner which we will have in our room tonight. I have an appointment with the cruise specialist on board and plan to book our next cruise of the British Isles in 2017.
Despite our best efforts to avoid the sun through covering up with long-sleeve shirts and pants, the liberal use of sunscreen and avoiding the sun, we are surprised at how tanned we are. We think that the rays reflecting off the water as we sat in the shade of our balcony were the reason we have quite a bit of colour.
We have a very early start tomorrow as I imagine that security at the airport will take some time.
