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!

Fellow Residents, Chris aka Zeus & Laura aka Hera , pictured below love a good Murder Mystery night. They go all out and this one had 120 passengers, the Captain, Hotel Manager and several other Crew and the entertainment staff participating, in this ship wide event. We were all given roles, and togas with Greek or Roman roles. Many of the Gods and Goddess had major roles while many others, just played along.
DUNEDIN, NEW ZEALAND was a quick 25 minute ride inland from the Port of Chalmers . We were going to take the bus, when fellow Resident Theresa, offered us a ride, as she had to return her rental car. This allowed us to make a stop along the way at Baldwin Street.
Port Chalmers is this picturesque small harbor town of just about 1,400 residents, located at the head of the Otago Harbour , on NewZealand's south island. The port has deep maritime roots dating back to Scottish settlers who arrived in the mid 1800's. It is celebrated for its Victorian heritage, dramatic coastal scenery and thriving arts community.
