Barbados - January 8

I got this. Pack up a towel and sun block. Walk off the ship, grab a taxi, and head for the beach. I could get used to this.

Today we went to Carlisle Bay Beach, just on the other side of Bridgetown from the cruise dock. The weather was perfect and the beach was perfect. The sand was perfect and the water was perfect.
You can see the cruise ship from Carlisle Bay.

This little guy (gal?) ran under my chair.
It ran sideways, and it was very fast.

When we got back we ordered afternoon tea from room service and feasted on scones, tea sandwiches, cakes and cookies. We were so busy eating we forgot to take photos.

Our travel agent gave us a wonderful gift - The Ultimate Balcony Dinner. (Thanks, Debbie!) The Ultimate Balcony Dinner lived up to its name.

As we sailed away from Barbados, our own personal waiter spread a linen tablecloth on our table and served us cocktails and crabmeat in puff pastry. Oh, no! Our little friend from the beach . . . .
Mojitos are always a good choice under these circumstances. Next we had salad and one of the ship's photographers took some photos of us.  
Then a delicious surf and turf main course with champagne.
Finally, a fabulous chocolate concoction as we enjoyed the balmy Caribbean weather. But there was even more. Chocolate-covered strawberries, cookies and candies. We were too stuffed, so we saved the goodies for another day. Our balcony dinner was such a treat.


for our final activity of the day we went to the piano longe to hear Kory Simon. He is a talented pianist/singer/entertainer. This evening he had a trivia game for us - a combination of Name That Tune, Finish the Verse, and What Movie Is It From? He made it so much fun with his zany commentary.
