Haiti for the Cruiser

 7:30am and off to breakfast!

From the dining room and ALL the other windows, Haiti was now visible. Beautiful rising and falling shoreline, steep hills and valleys meeting the rocky shore.


And by 8am we were docked.  Everyone began to disembark around 9am. 



We (B and I) had plans for an historic educational tour involving Labadee traditions, dancing, art and a wee bit of voodoo. 



















I was sporting a Scopalamine patch now, just in case that short Haitian boat ride was to mess with me. The afternoon was spent perusing craft markets, lazing the afternoon away on a beach lounger and taking a satisfying nap. Well... kinda satisfying... until I woke to the sound of "ma'am, ma'am! It's time to go back to the ship".  A handsome security guard in a starched uniform was hovering over my lounger. B and I were bleary-eyed and just a touch confused. I was somewhere between dreamland and reality.





Just like that, Day 3 beginning to wind down. We were still pretty cruise-naive and I didn't get a dinner reservation before 8pm but figured we'd get a snack first and catch the ice-skating show at 7pm - until discovering that theater was also full to overflowing.

Plan B - Another quiet bite to eat then go to dinner per the reservation but just for the dessert! LOL

Back at Schooner Bar we sang along to Lionel Richie, Ed Sheeran, Queen and more.
