Guadeloupe - today we went for a chill day on the beach!
We were in a taxi van headed to St Anne's area from the port and our driver wanted to pick up more people to fill the van. The 2 we added were Robert and Fred from our ship, who were going to a hotel to use a day pass they offered - 60 Euro for use of beach pool and facilities and it included hot & cold buffet lunch with cocktails. Hotel was lovely when we pulled up and secluded beach & pool lovely - so we changed plans and joined in. Robert, who is a wealth investor in our Ship, ended up paying for all 6 of us and we had a very nice day just relaxing. Rod, Fred & Robert bonded over cars and music discussions. Us ladies just chilled! A good day!

Little India is a neighborhood in Singapore that I wanted to explore becase I love Indian food and their Temple's have such unique gods and Architecture, super colorful and detailed. Below is the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, Singapore's first temple dedicated to Veeramakaliammam or the Kali , a fierce incarnation of Shiva's wife and the "Destroyer of Evil" .
Other residents had a great experience at Singapore's Food Playground on prior visits, so we wanted to try it out! Our first day in Port, twelve of us signed up for a fun afternoon, where we got to enjoy our creations as a yummy lunch. Front row (L to R) is Ellie, Rick, their visiting friend, Sue, Christy and Angela. Back Row - Me, Bosco, Delia, John, Terri & Lori.
We just relaxed on the Island of Koh Chang, Thailand. It's one of the largest Thai Islands in the Gulf of Thailand and it has a dense, steep jungle & National Park covering the interior of the Island, which extends off shore, to coral reefs. The coast line is dotted with beaches and villages. This was a tender port, so we decided to stay on the Island for 3 nights, to be able to experience the nightlife. Turns out, it is low season, so nightlife was pretty sleepy. However, we did find a new favorite night time activity! Any Guesses?!?
