January 10th Tuesday.
Bridgetown, Barbados
Docked in Barbados around 8 am about a mile from Bridgetown. Sunny, 82 degrees, and the water and harbor looks like a postcard. Every hue on the ‘cool color’ spectrum you can imagine. The humidity does not seem as bad, but maybe I am getting used to it. At least we are making use of all the summer clothes we packed. This is a beautiful Island. And it seems prosperous. Hotels, beaches, and everyone is very nice and speaks English. Bruce went out on a 2 tank dive trip with some other passengers that decided to go out on their own. I stayed onboard, sat in the sun, walked and overall just relaxed and enjoyed the view. I decided not to walk into town, especially after yesterday. Not quite brave enough to have a go of it on my own yet. Later, when Bruce returned, (he had a grand dive trip) we did go into the port area to do some shopping. Nice shopping area and we did listened to some steel drum music….I had to rein Bruce in from buying a steel drum. Maybe next time. We just have to remember that whatever we buy we have to haul home, or find someplace to mail it. Finally found a place with free Wi-Fi so we could catch up on all of our e-mails. First place so far. Bridgeport is beautiful, tropical, and the people are lovely. I would definitely go back there. On to South America ….
ON ANOTHER NOTE……We have turned the clocks ahead 2 hrs so far. The practice of this ship is to do this at 2 pm instead of 2 am. That way everyone is “on the same boat” so to speak. Kind of nice when happy hour rolls around. We know what day of the week it is by the elevators. They change the floor rug inside the elevators to reflect the day. Guess we will have to use them once a day. And the date….well it’s anyone’s guess. And they do….it’s the great trivia question of the day.
