Lindsay’s Done! Ready for Cruise

Interesting start to our day. As we planned on our early departure tomorrow, we decided to have a bit of a lay-in this morning and a late breakfast/brunch. Reposing in bed this morning, there was a knock on the door at 8:00 am, followed by another knock before I could open the door. When I did open it, wearing my nighty, the shocked, then embarrassed and quickly contrite face of a perfect strange stared back at me. With quick choked “sorry”, she fled back to the elevator. Closing the door, I realized that with absolutely no effort on my part, I had probably ruined her day!!! What are the chances she is on our cruise and will have to face me at some point? I had a giggle then went back to my leisurely morning.

Today was low key and thus this entry will be short. We breakfasted at the hotel, picked up boarding passes for our flight tomorrow and were given our bus departure time (4:45 a.m.). Upon the recommendation of fellow passengers, Brad and John from New York, we headed for a nice walk to unique place - El Ateneo, Theatre turned book shop.

Heading towards’ our destination for the afternoon we did some window shopping where we met our new little friend Milo!

We opted then to while away the afternoon at Cafayate cafe along side of Cementerio de la Recoleta. Listening to beautiful music, sipping beer and people watching. Video will be posted on Instagram/Facebook.

Leisurely walk back to hotel, then a couple of hours of repacking and reading before dinner at the hotel again. Given the expected cuisine on the ship and the enormous portions of the last two days, we opted to have a cocktail each, Lindsay chose a hotdog and french fries and Linda a burger (not identified as having french fries) accompanied by a nice Malbec, then to bed by 9:30.

Lesson Learned: Again with the food translation…. Hotdog and French Fries may be on a stick!

Outfits Today: I will not have worn everything from my backpack. Tomorrow first outfit will be from backpack, then onto the good stuff.Read more
