Bridgetown, Barbados

Sunday we are docked in Bridgetown, Barbados.  We are only one of two ships docked here.  We have been to Barbados when there will be six large ships in port.  But today, being Palm Sunday, we do not think that much will be open in town.

We got up to the pool at 7:30 am only to find it still closed and the man who opens it was nowhere to be found.  So we headed back to the suite to change and go to breakfast instead.  Sunday they always serve Caviar and Champagne but not for me.  Bob did have some caviar but no champagne.  We both had a serving of eggs Benedict.

I started knitting a new sweater as I finished the one I was working on.  I still need to sew it together but I did not bring pins so will finish when I get home.  And we are back in code red as they have had 12 new cases of GI upset.  Won't these guests ever learn.  Yesterday I spotted a man turning the cheese around with his hands.  What is wrong with some people?

Speaking of yesterday, we had a quiet day at sea.  All the regular events.  Lecture on San Juan, needlepoint, tea and trivia.  No swimming as the Staff Captain felt the water was too rough in the morning.  We spoke with him and he said he realized we could handle the water but was afraid some of the older folks could not.  And we had dinner with Mal and Mili.  We will miss them when we go home.  Next year they will be taking the World Cruise so we will not see them as we cancelled our world cruise.

Bob is taking a walk into town to take some pictures.  And I am going to swim.  Which I did for one hour.  All alone in the pool.  When I got back to the suite, Bob had returned from his walk.  He took lots of pictures which I will post once he edits them.

Lunch in La Veranda which I had the New York Hot Dog.  Really good.  Then I went to the Observation Lounge to read while Bob took his nap.  Then we met for trivia where we go 14 of 15 questions correct.  WOW.  Surprised even us.  We took 2nd place and the folks who have been on Regent for over 2000 days got all 15 correct.  Oh well, we felt pretty good.

Dinner with the trivia team in Prime 7.  Nice food but great conversation.  Back to the suite for the movie of "The Big Short" .  Will probably finish another day.

Pictures to follow.
