Shopping District Oranjestad, Aruba |
I can say that Aruba has stolen my heart and of the three places that Chris and I visited during the cruise, it is the one that we want to return to the most. Maybe next April!
Cuttlefish Aruba |
Chris has a special place in her heart for cuttlefish.
Starfish Aruba |
Even so, the snorkeling was rewarding because there was something different or special at every stop.
Yesterday was nice because we were able to return to the ship and change before going out shopping in Oranjestad. That was nice because the dive bag gets heavy after a short while of dragging it around into and out of shops.
Sharptail Eel Aruba |
We had a nice lunch and made it back comfortably to the ship before our 4PM departure. I was later told, by an eyewitness, that the announcement we heard calling out a number of our shipmates names at about departure time was because they were not yet onboard and the captain was preparing to cast off just as a taxi came screaming up to the quay, just in the nick of time. I suppose worse things could have happened than being stranded in Aruba.

I will be catching up on my pictures and editing the movies. Oh yea, and sitting in the sun by the pool.
