And I have to say I am beginning to wear out a bit. We started out with a good mix of sea day, port, sea day, port. But the last few days have been essentially all port days. Yeah, I know that we didn’t actually get off the ship in Panama yesterday, but we did run around from one deck to another and side to side and to and fro for about 9 hours. Well, Tom did. I stopped to-ing and fro-ing after the first set of locks and just enjoyed the scenery from my balcony, but still we all barely made it through the show last night and headed to our rooms around 8:30 for needed sleep.
Today was a flurried morning in Cartagena, Colombia. We had a short port stop here, only 5 and a half hours from 8-1:30. We did a stroll through the Old Town of Cartagena and while we loved the old architecture of balconies and cobbled streets within the fortress walls, we were less than enamored with the traffic, the heat, the humidity and the non-stop peddlars. We’re skipping the dining room tonight and hitting the early show, as we have another port day tomorrow - Aruba where we are all going snorkeling and won’t care what the humidity is.
As proof, I am including some pictures with this post. A very bedraggled victim of the humidity and heat, a traffic situation on the way in that had us all laughing, and a couple of the lovely streets of Old Town.
I'm still reading! Your wonderful descriptions always leave me enthralled by the events of your days. Also make me tired. lol The information is appreciated as well since we will be there in December. Charge your batteries, you little Energizer bunnies!
