Roatan Is Still Beautiful

It is a beautiful day in Rotan, Honduras. I head down to deck 8 for my morning walk. As I'm walking, I am greeted by the sound of a rooster. After making a few laps, I head to the Observation deck to write up yesterday's blog and wait for my trip mates.

My trip mates join me around 9:00 AM. Gabi has two black eyes and is moving very slowly. Gabi has a cane from medical but is still unstable on her feet. She said she slept well, though, so that is good. Ken doesn't look like he slept well. I think he is blaming himself for the accident. We keep telling him that accident can happen anywhere or at any time.

We head to The Local for breakfast. This time, I do have the French Toast. Oh, is it ever good! Soft on the inside but crunchy on the outside (kind of like this writer :>) It also has raisins, which is nice. I pair it with a fruit salad, perfect!

We head up to the pool deck and have a slow morning. We find a nice dining area where we can sit at a table with higher chairs. This is more comfortable for me as well as Gabi. We all have issues with how low the deck chairs are! We do lunch at the buffet and then head back to our rooms for some quiet time.

We meet up for dinner around 6 as usual. Gabi is feeling a little worse, so I call for her to go back to medical. The doctor (Mr. Tall, Dark and Handsome) doesn't like the look of her raccoon eyes. Gabi is still having quite a bit of pain as well. So, he decides that a CT scan is in order. This will have to be done on shore in Cozumel tomorrow. The medical team on board will set everything up and let us know in the morning when. They will handle all the details of transportation and booking the appointments. The doctor said that there will be a liaison between the ship and the hospital to help us navigate this. They also said that the hospital will communicate with the ship directly. He said that this is one of the only ports that do this. Gabi is given a shot for the pain and we get her a wheelchair for the rest of her time on board. Norwegian is really very accommodating and helping us out as much as possible. It gives you the warm and fuzzies knowing how organized they are.

We then head to dinner. I finally get the steak. I can't get a Guinness in the dining room, but a nice Malbec wine will go nicely. The steak is cooked to perfection! Ken has the fried chicken with a cob of corn, and Gabi does the potato gnocchi again. Dinner is marvelous as always. After dinner, Ken and Gabi head back to their room.

I head to the shops to get my last two charms. On Thursday, I can get my cruise ship charm and finish my bracelet. I head to the Casino and actually stay even for the night. It is off to bed since I think tomorrow is going to be a challenge.Читать далее
