“Skyfall” is the name of Ken’s favorite Princess martini from the before-times.There is a new (and shorter) martini menu now, but you can order other martinis if you remember them.
Lemon-tini and Skyfall
Now let’s go back and take this “not much” day in chronological order.
We arrived in Bridgetown, Barbados, where we were not allowed get off unless we were part of an organized tour or we took a “government-approved taxi.” No wandering around on your own. We spoke to someone who took one of those approved taxi tours and they didn’t see much and didn’t like it at all.
We didn’t want to take an organized tour because 1) we have been here several times and have seen many of the attractions and 2) we don’t want to be packed into a bus or van with a bunch of unmasked folks. Thus, we stayed on board.
Did you know it’s illegal to wear a camouflage pattern in Barbados? Apparently they take it very seriously. The law even applies to children, and to things you might carry such as purses and backpacks.
We succumbed to the tropical torpor and took naps. Oh, the decadence of a “not much” day.
The color of the water today: it looked like pieces of the sky had fallen into the green ocean and gotten stirred up by a gentle breeze. You might call the color “Skyfall.”
We went for drinks before dinner and had the martinis pictured at the top of this post. Whoever thought of the martini glass was a genius. It makes any drink look so wonderful.
After dinner Alfreda, from the Aretha Franklin tribute show, performed a show called “Divas through the Ages.” She was great.
The ship stayed in port late, and we were treated to a light show.
