Just chilling and easing our way through the holiday. Really enjoyed the Pickelball with Ray. He is too fit for me & I was knackered by the end.
Assorted pictures, got soaked on the water ride. The 5 year lad on the ride was so exited that we were in the seats that get the soaking - he was right & he loved it.
Next stop Disney hotel, then Clearwater to check on our pal's apartment, then Universal hotel, then home. Wow, that's gone by quick. Soon be Easter.
Here on the beach at Melbourne. The bar is apparently the biggest grossing in Florida. Went for a drink on the terrace overlooking the bay. Some place, must have had a thousand different beers from all over the world - its also a deli, bakery and restaurant. Forgot to mention the frozen fountains.
Been walking around the art Deco district with Paula, a very knowledgeable guide from Leamington Spa. We now know Deco, Mediterranean revival ABA & MiMo (Miami Modern). There are certainly some beautiful buildings here. They have secret codes in their terrazzo floors, you know. Jack would love this. Very lively here at night, huge gay community, the drag queen parade outside the bars was something.
Visited Labadee, which is Royal Caribbean's own resort in Haiti. It is a delightful peninsula isolated by mountains. The food is for supplied by the ship & there are loads of adrenaline rides. I think Jack & Dan would really like the 5000 ft zip from the mountain top. Pretty hot, but nice shady spots.
We are mid Atlantic in the Sargasso sea, which is mid ocean, bounded by the major ocean currents. Sea is very blue and it's very warm on deck. There is seaweed and the flying fish are flying all over the place.
It's supposed to be a place of shipwreck and ginormous squid. I don't know about that, but that ship just sailed by and disappeared!!
Last night on ship. Had a spell in these mesh balls that are suspended from the deck. When the ship rolls the centrifugal forces are massive, as you can see.
As you can see knit - eat - go mad. Not really, she was part of the MJ Thriller flash mob at Halloween. It was a full moon and I had to shoot her. Didn't work, no silver bullets!
Went ashore, dealt with Emails etc, bit of basic shopping & chilled in bar with Geordie's & Texans. Hot & humid but showery. Gannets or Frigates soaring around ship.

Went up to the palace & gardens in the cable car. It's a beautiful garden and Madeira seems lovely - must visit again for longer. I don't know if Pat is around, but we have a big swell on the sea and the ship is rocking & rolling.
