Beautiful Barbados!

Just went for lazy tourist day today! It was a warm, sunny day with a nice breeze blowing off the ocean! Did a stroll through the local shops surrounding the cruise terminal. There were 5 other large ships in port! The Boatyard bar & restaurant had a deal, right on the beach front, where you got a free shuttle from the port to restaurant (about a 20-minute ride), an entry cocktail, a beach lounger and umbrella & a snorkeling trip via private boat out to a reef, for 45minutes session snorkeling with turtles and fish. Had a yummy lunch of coconut shrimp and a mango smoothie. The ocean water and powdery sand was truly heavenly. We just relaxed, enjoyed the music, breeze and conversations. I am truly thankful for this blessed life I am living.

Happy Thanksgiving 2025! I have so much to be thankful for this year. I am truly living a dream and loving every minute of it! We were at Sea today traveling from Vanuatu to Fiji .

Mystery Island is our first Port that was actually an uninhabited island. No one lives here, all that is really there is a landing strip ( from WW2) and a few shack type buildings. The land is owned by people who live on nearby islands, but they believe this island is haunted at night! During the day, if a cruise ship is in port, they will come over and offer massages, umbrella & chair rentals, lobster & coconuts and local crafts.

Next we were at Eden on the River , for a little nature walk and a swim in the cool refreshing water. This place was great with giant rocks to slide down, inter-tubes for floating and rope bridges to climb. All set in this gorgeous park with tons of flowers & fauna.
