Cruise Day 2 - 2012-03-20


Woke up at 8am after a great night's sleep - much better than trying to sleep in the plane on the way over! Slowly congregated on deck and then dug into a scrumptious breakfast on deck. We do wonder how many china sets they have here - have seen no repetitions so far!

Then the small boat dropped us off close to Ram's Head and we hiked up to its top. An easy hike of about a mile each direction with beautiful views off the ocean. As the path zig-zagged we kept seeing the ocean from opposite views - high cliffs going all the way down, interesting cacti and lovely views of "our" yacht which is definitely the most beautiful one to be seen!

Swimming and snorkeling next - and as usual I wimped out at the snorkeling and bailed out to the boat after less than a minute in the water.

Now all the snorkelers have arrived back and the next stop will be lunch at a local cafe called Skinny Legs.

***Later****

Skinny Legs was a nice beach shack with rather nice food and a very nice drink of the day. When we were picked up to go back to the yacht we were told that it's kayaking time. So obedient as always we stepped into kayaks and started paddling. Avi & I shared a double kayak. A few minutes out it started raining rather heavily. Of course the temps did not really drop so it was not a big deal but at some point we decided to return and soak in the hot tub instead. Great idea - not only were cocktails served in the hot tub but we saw a most amazing circular rainbos - it went into the water under the boat and came out again - a perfect 360°.

Time to go back up - maybe a pilates lessong before dinner. We are so busy...
