Oh how I love SEA DAYS!

Our SEA DAYS have been few and far between of late and I really needed some down time. I love the SHIP'S SPA - the massages are fantastic; this time I also had a facial! The second SEA DAY I had a pedicure and a haircut. Both SEA DAYS I got to play tons of pickleball, and our group of players has really grown. We do lots of rotating and elimination play - so lots of people can play at varying levels and everyone still having a good time. It also helps that we have comfy deck furniture to await our turn, along with good music and an open bar. Life is pretty amazing!!
View from one of high spot in the center of island looking out toward port. Island very dry and arid with lots of divi trees bent over in the winds and two types of cactus - one edible and the other poisonous ( used to build fencing). The Miller's and I did a private van tour around the island and then we ended tour at a beach for a couple hours R&R. Our fabulous driver/ guide came back and picked us up and concluded tour back to port and gave us each a gift ( Bonaire magnet). She was super! Below are slat fields - a big industry for Bonaire - harvested every March. Salt shimmers in sun as the water evaporates in the pools.
