After our day in Curacao we decided it was time for a late afternoon lunch. Would it be a burger? Would it be a taco? Would it be pizza or Indian food? Yes.
We decided to make our own "sampler" plates. My daughter and I went to Guy's Burgers and the Blue Iguana while our friends went to the two places we hadn't eaten at yet, Pizza Pirate and Tandoor.
We each got one plate of food, met at a table and then divvied the pickings out so everybody had a little something of everything. (Pizza is also available fresh made 24 hours a day for those late, late hungries.
Hey, I can eat pizza at 3 a.m. no problem.
Not that I did but I could.)
During the cruise there are a lot of participation activities like cornhole tournaments, trivia contests, digital scavenger hunts, etc. Two of the oddest though funniest happened while we were relaxing poolside after lunch. The "Hairiest Chest Contest" for men
and the "Dance Like Beyonce Contest" for women. The losers had to get in the pool and do a water ballet routine. It was quite entertaining. A half dozen on each side participated (some of those men were walking carpets
) and the ladies won by the audience vote. The men jumped in the pool and did some Swan Lake something.....well they looked like crazy ducks on a pond.
If you win any of the contests you will receive a geniune gold (plastic) "ship on a stick" to take home.
Before we knew it the daylight was fading and soon it would be Thrill Theater time and dinner. Once again Spongebob was playing and we had to wait one session. We did notice that the art on the surrounding walls was less so someone must be buying it up at the auctions. The pictures were nice but I think if you're spending all that money
on art during your cruise, you must have some cashola to spare.
Dinner this evening had my mouth watering while reading the menu.....bbq ribs!
Yeah!!!! (I might love me some bbq........A LOT!) Our meal was tempura shrimp for an app, bbq ribs (so tender they fell right off the bone), rosemary herb fries, and for dessert my daughter had fresh baked chocolate chip cookies and ice cream. I also might like me some cheesecake.....A LOT......so I had two pieces.
And same old story, the poolside movie wasn't happening this evening either. Dawn Of The Planet Of The Apes played while we were dining and a Spring Break Fiesta was going on now. While I don't mind mariachi music or trying to knock down a pinata, I just didn't have it in me so we retired for the night. Room service breakfast order placed, alarm clock set for 6:30, we were asleep ten minutes after we got in our room.
TO BE CONTINUED with boulders, bridge and tent city.
