In Colombia I went on a tour of the mangroves with one of the girls that I work with, Natasha, who's from Puerto Rico. It wasn't too different from other mangroves that I've seen before, but it was still nice all the same. We also had some time at a hotel after we went to the mangroves, so I was happy I'd worn my bathing suit, as we were able to use the pool.
They also gave us a tour of the city on the way back to the ship, which was really nice. I unfortunately had to get ready quickly for the tour after my shift, and so I had forgotten to charge my camera battery. So, I don't have pictures from the city, just of the mangroves. I made sure to charge my batteries after I got home, so I'll be able to take pictures next time.
Yesterday we stopped in Aruba, and I had a long break from 12-7, so I went to the beach with a bunch of people I work with. Or I guess we technically went to the pool. There's a long stretch of beaches on one side, with resorts on the other side of the road, so we opted to go and stay at one of the resorts instead of the beach. I'm working on getting an actual tan, which is not working so well, they were teasing me that I looked like casper. Oh well, I'm hoping that it will come eventually.
So I just spent a relaxing day away from the ship, I was able to go shopping and pick up a few things that I was missing, and it was nice to be out in the fresh air. They encourage us to get off the ship if we can, mostly to preserve our sanity. It can get to be long days in a confined space with the same people all the time. But so far everything is going well!
