Puntarenas
Costa Rica,
The day
dawned with a temperature of 30 degrees Celsius and humidity of 92%.
We have
been here since midnight and have just now been given permission to go ashore.;
not than anyone would want to go ashore at midnight.
We do not
have a shore excursion booked and I have no idea what our plans will include
but it will begin with breakfast in the dining room. I heard a rumor that there
are strawberries, yummy.
We went to
breakfast and I was able to get a dish of strawberries and the papaya was
perfect. Papaya can be wonderful if it is at the just right stage of ripeness.
Basically
we spent the entire day being lazy. I watched 2 movies, I napped, I explored
the ship and did nothing reportable. It was very very hot and so I stayed
inside for the most part. We saw the gang go ashore and wondered how they would
make out.
They explored a little and were back on board for lunch. Mary said
she almost passed out in the heat so I figure I made the right decision. Even
Ken found it almost unbearable whenever he ventured outside. Do you think old
people mind the heat more than young people??
We had
lunch in our room, the salads were great. We went to happy hour and had our
first cocktail of this cruise. We were able to order “The Issac” so that was
fun. The wheelhouse was quite full with people taking advantage of happy hour.
We went to
dinner and the menu was different but just as good. As usual we laughed and
visited. Table mates sure can make your cruise , we are having so much fun.
My prize
for the contest appeared. It was a very nice pen with the Princess logo. I
passed it around for all to see.
Fred had them prepare a special ice cream
sundae for him and he had that for dessert instead of his usual one scoop of
sorbet. Caesar made him a very special one.
Next we
went to the show in the theatre. Tonight was “do you Wanna Dance” It was well
done but we remember when it was so much better. They have shortened the show
and left out a lot of the more special things. We really miss the waltz
After the
show we went to the EFFY store, they were having a promotion and I picked up my
free pendant. It is small and is a very bright clear garnet of a deep ruby
color.
Then we strolled
along the deck. The sun has gone down but it was still very hot.
We went to
Horizon court for milk and a cookie and then returned to our room.
I turned on
the Wake Show and we discovered that Ken has won this time, so it appears as if
he will have a special pen also.
Tomorrow (
Sunday May 1st) is San Juan Del Sur.
