Definitely less rock'n'roll and we had a pretty good night's sleep. For sure this was the day of snorkeling. Morning hike across the island to see turtles and sharks but unfortunately there were none today,although we did see a flamingo in flight on the walk across and the view from the other side of Floriana was fantastic. Another snorkel, and a few nice pics of a parrot fish and a ray. Then back to the boat for lunch. One bad event was my new underwater camera failed right after the snorkel- just my luck! After lunch we headed for another snorkel site that turned out to be amazing! The sea lions were in the water with us as well as a ton of fish, it was fantastic; too bad no underwater camera- oh well.
Back to the boat for a quick rest, then back to the other side of the island for a trip to the post office. We looked for Sheryl's card but it wasn't to be found, although we did find one to be delivered in Santa Clara and one in Del Mar, so we took both. It should be fun delivering them. We left one to be sent to Sheryl, hopefully someone will pick it up and deliver it to her for us. More snorkeling, this time there were tons of rays and Sea Turtles - Yea! But again not a working underwater camera although I jury rigged one with a plastic seal bag and Sheryl's old camera, ok but not what I wanted.
When we returned to the boat-Surprise- ice cream for a treat. Bonnie had a little too much liquor topping but she slept it off before dinner. Tomorrow many of our cruise-mates will be getting off and some new ones will be joining us. It's goodbye to Miranda and Scott from London, Val and Kareem from Beruit, Michael and Donna from PA and DC, the Dr.and his gf from Long Island and some people we didn't meet from Germany, Finland, and Holland. With the Aussies ( including another Stuart), the ladies from Ventura, and Richard and Jill from UK staying aboard you can see it was a real international group. Wonder what interesting animals and people tomorrow will bring.
