Yesterday, the Captain told us it would be around 36 today, according to the Bridge Information Channel, it was 28 at 03:30! Arrived around 05:00 and this was one of our few early starts on this cruise. Alison from Cruise Critic had organised a small group tour and 10 of us (including Rob as Barbara chickened out) were on it. We were picked up at the end of the dock and taken to a place where Capuchin monkeys are found, unfortunately wildlife doesn't alwa...

Easter Monday and another short day as the clocks went forward an hour to GMT -6. Men only just lost BoS, which means the tally is currently 3-1 to the ladies. The top deck was closed this morning because of the winds, but opened in time for deck quoits. I was partnered with Yvonne and we survived through to the second round. I won the IQ by 1.5 points today. 45 minutes later, I won the Countdown Conundrum too. It was the final Crew Show of the enti...

29 degrees at 09:00. Easter Sunday. Weather was cloudy. After our mile, Barbara and I sat out on the Promenade Deck. Lots of small black dolphins in the sea and they leapt really high.

At one o'clock I was on deck 10 talking to Edward when all the chairs by the ...

Spent the morning doing photos and web page then sat out on the Promenade Deck with Barbara. I had to leave BoS early as Rob and I are on a private tour in Puntarenas and Alison, who is organising it, wanted a brief meeting with all the participants. The women won, apparently. I lost in the first round of the qu...

Good Friday.....and it was good! Hot cross buns (well, cold cross buns) at breakfast. We came here two years ago and this time we all did our own thing. Rob and Linda hit the beach, Phil and Yvonne strolled off for wifi and a supermarket and Barbara and I went looking for an Internet cafe with real computers rather than just wifi. We researched New England cruises with various companies and it looks like a Celebrity cruise next year, rather than a P&O on...
