Fellow Residents Farewell Bike Tour in Belfast
Today over 45 of my fellow residents did a bike tour through the streets of downtown Belfast for a final farewell to the City that has been our home base for the last 4 months. Can't wait to join up with this crazy crew tomorrow! Current plan is I fly tonight to Dublin, getting in at 6 a.m. and then I take the 2 hour bus ride to Belfast, arriving around 9 a.m. I then need to hang out with other residents till our 5 p.m. loading time at the cruise terminal. Hopefully boarding will go smoothly and we are set to sail away before 11 pm.
There are 97 of us on the manifest set to sail tomorrow out of Belfast. You should recognize several of the above from prior blogs!
Today we are in the second largest city in all of Indonesia, Surabaya. The Port is huge and busy, as there are tons of freightors and ferries here. We had a warm welcome when we pulled in yesterday evening.
More FUN with the Elephants ! Washing this gentle creature was so special. The handlers at the Sanctuary are so informative and caring and took sooo many pictures for us!
MASON'S ELEPHANT SANTUARY was a little slice of Heaven! in crazy, congested Bali ! I really wanted to treat the Spa Manager Stacy and our Entertainment Manager Kelly, to a fun, non-stressful event that they could truly enjoy! Stacy had never seen elephants before and her squeal of delight, when we first laid eyes on them was pure joy!
