So, today was the Sea Olympics. What is that you may ask? Well on the ship, all the cabins are divided up into different sections called 'seas.' So, like my cabin is on the portside of deck three toward the front, so I was in the Mediterranean Sea. Other sections have different names such as the Baltic Sea, Aegean Sea, etc. Even the faculty and staff had a sea with a total of 10 seas competing. We did events such as tug of war, photo scavenger hunt, slippery twis...

Well, today is my last day in Maurtius. Sorry I did not blog before, I usually do to let you know that I arrived safely, but I am low in internet minutes, so this was the first time I could get my laptop off the ship and use the island's free wifi. Anyways, my time here was very cool. It was pretty chill. The first day we actually got here late because the weather was so bad. The last few days at sea before here was literally unbearable. I fell up the stairs and ...

My day started early once again, though not as bad. Our taxi driver came and picked us up at 8:30 and we began our long drive around Cape Town. It was just me, Ellie, and Ally.

There is this island that is just covered in seals! They were so cute! Very stinky, but ver...

So, the day started at 4:30am when I woke up to get ready. Our shuttle came at 5:30am and it was about a 2 and a half hour drive to where we were gonna be cage diving.

They had breakfast all ready for us, and we were able eat and wake up. Most of the people slept on the way there, but I rode shotgun so I stayed awake the whol...

That morning we packed up everything, had a quick snack, and loaded up the vehicles so we could do one more game drive. It was exciting and everything, but I was just so tired from the previous days that I struggled to stay awake on the way out of the reserve. I did, but fell asleep pretty quick once we got on the main road. I had such a blast, but honestly, I was excited to get back to the ship. The shower situation wasn't exactly ideal, so most of us didn't sho...
