Deserted uninhabited Island

Monday, March 3/2014

This is getting to be too much. I just had to stop and ask myself… Where were we yesterday??

Oh yes, yesterday we were in Klein Bonaire. The stop was from nine until two so we had breakfast early . We were on the balcony when a pod of porpoise decided to swim by. I think I got a good picture. It turned out to be the last zoom picture because after the first one the camera refused to zoom. I don’t know what the problem is but I may have to get a new camera.

We were ready to disembark soon after docking. We remembered that Alice had gone there during our last visit to Bonaire so we should do it too. So we dressed in swimwear and cover ups and away we went. Right at the end of the pier was an information station and they directed us to the water taxi stand. The cost of the taxi was $20.00 return, each. The taxi would be leaving in 10 minutes and it left Bonaire on the hour and returned on the half hour so that was great .

We left at nine and returned on the 11:30. It was perfect.

 This desert island was flat with no trees but there were some low bushes. The sun was hot but there was a very nice breeze. The water was so clear it was almost as if it was not there. Ken took his snorkel and mask and he said there were amazing numbers of fish. I paddled around and really enjoyed my time on Klein Bonaire. There were lots of people there and everyone was enjoying the water and the sand.

When we returned to Bonaire we roamed into and out of a few shops but we bought nothing. Soon it was time to board the ship and have our favorite lunch of quiche and salad at the international café.

Today was the Captain Circle Party so we had to be on our way to Club Fusion by five. It was a nice get together as usual and Sandeep made certain we were well taken care of. 

It seems that most of the staff is recognizing us now. They all seem to be thinking.. Are they still here? This is our last week so sad!!

We went right from the party to dinner taking our cocktail with us. After dinner we went to the Princess Theatre.  Tonight was the first performance of the new cast. The changeover is about the take place. The singers and dancers are finished their 6 months and they get a month off before boarding another ship. So every six months a passenger gets to see two different troops. Tomorrow will be the last show for the old group. Anyway the new troop is very good as we would expect,  however the voices of the main stars doesn’t seem to be as strong.

After the show we returned here and ended our day.

Tomorrow we are in Grenada. This is where I will be shopping for all of the spices.
