Goodbye Barbados!

Our final day was a day at sea, before docking in Bridgetown, Barbados for our flight home. We holed up fairly early in the day on a couple of sunbeds under the glass good facing out to sea, and spent almost the entire day reading. A relaxing end to a cruise with a port a day for the last ten days! The sun was scorching, and so the day followed an easily repeatable pattern - reading until too hot, jump in the pool, dry off and get a drink (the latter being a notable benefit of an all-inclusive cruise!). Sadly, and very disappointingly, as it was the final day there was no trivia this evening.

The day of our departure was not dissimilar, spent in the same loungers but with no swimming, both the to the faff but also due to the chill in the air from the rain in Bridgetown. We did sit and watch a man overboard drill run through the morning, elongated the to them hitting the 'casualty' with the boat on two of the four attempted rescues!

Now, we await our flight home, during which we'll roll into 2018 somewhere over the Atlantic. Happy New Year all 😊 xRead more
