Day 7 Curacao

Day 7 Curacao

We are in Curacao Netherland Antilles.  We did not have a tour today and walked all around town.  Pretty colored shops but the same shops as all the other Caribbean Islands.  We also spent 4 hours at Starbucks upgrading Bill’s IPAD and downloading apps for the college courses we are taking.  We didn’t return to the ship until after 3:30 so we went to the Trident Grill for a late lunch.  After lunch Bill headed to the cigar lounge to smoke the Cuban cigar he bought and I rested for a while.

The show tonight was early at 7:00pm and it was the mind reader Marc Paul.  We have seen him twice before and both times he picked Bill.  We sat center this time, as he did not want to be called up again.  He is really fascinating.  After the show was dinner and then they had a curiously Curacao .  This is a show that they put together onboard and the whole entertainment department participates.  They had all kinds of drinks but as we had just eaten we were not interested.  The show was good and went from 9:45 till midnight.  I did love this Island and to make it even better we had free internet anywhere unfortunately I didn’t find out it worked on my veranda until we were getting ready to sail or we could have face timed with the kids today.

Everything has been just wonderful except for the ship’s internet.  I don’t ever remember it being this AWFUL.  Slow is not even the correct term.  It has been very frustrating!  While we were in port I did pick up some highlighters for our class and we came back and did our homework.  I am bound and  determined to learn all I can about all my Apple products so I don’t have to ask the kids!  Hey first day I felt like a genius some of these people didn’t even know how to turn it on or off!


I don't think we are going to have pictures today it has been almost an hour and it won't let me upload them.  I am going to  have to find out what the heck is going on.  Those of you who have Facebook I will try to post a couple there maybe that will work.

Today is a sea day and tomorrow we will be Santa Marta, Columbia.  Bill and I are doing Salsa dancing!  this should be a hoot!
