Mom wanted to ride a rickshaw down the pier to get to the Amber Cove development. With only one ship in port there were lots of empty loungers around the pool. What was in short supply were loungers in the shade! We were able to find some chairs facng the pool with he sun behind us! Mom and LC didn't have swimsuits on but they did get there feet wet. I wore my bathing suit and cooled down with a quick dip, then a waterslide. The challenge of the waterslide was the VERY hot asphalt path and stairs up to the top - water shoes would have been essential for me to be willing to walk a second time up to the top! It was a fun waterslide with zero lineup!
Mom really enjoyed the rickshaw back to the ship and hopes future ports offer the same service. (We won't hold our breath though!). Once back we used our coupons for a free hour of time in the thermal suite and hydropool. People usually buy a pass for access to this retreat area for the entire cruise. One hour opened our eyes to the wonders of this facility! We went into the hydropool first, where they had these massage type water sprays. 20 minutes on the warm stone beds were pretty neat - and would be totally amazing on a cold weather cruise! LC discovered a shower where you lied flat that was cool!
Dinner n the dining room was turkey for all of us. For dessert I had a sugar free chocolate mousse that was delicious. We wanted to try our hand at trivia at 6:45 - we didn't get wiped off the map so that was good. We had a pair of British twins join us for the music trivia where we performed amazingly well because of the British influence! The hilight of the evening was the duelig pianos - where they had 45 minutes of country music. Not my first choice of genre but amazingly talented musicians!
In bed at 10:35 and looking forward to our day at sea tomorrow!
