For the second night on the trot we gave the show in the theatre a miss, billed as a double act of David Guidice & Jordan Bennet our table mates revealed that the two didn’t actually sing together and did half a show each. I think we made the right decision in just going for a drink in the Sky Lounge where we listened to a duo called Natalie & Rich who are from Britain, she being an excellent singer while he accompanied her on the acoustic guitar. We liked them and will certainly keep an eye out for them performing again around the ship.
We arrived at Bridgetown shortly before 7:00 this morning to find 3 other ships in, those being P&O Oriana, Thomson Celebration & AidaDiva. The weather was very cloudy and we came through a heavy rain shower on the way in to port along with a couple more just after we docked.
After breakfast we made our way off the ship and walked the short distance to the cruise terminal opting not to use the ships free shuttle service. Once through the terminal we headed for the taxi rank and got a shared mini bus to the beach. Our stop being the second to last and taking us to Rockley Beach or as the locals call it Accra Beach after the hotel that’s there.
With $15 for two sunbeds and an parasol we were all set for the day. The only thing not perfect was the weather and even though it rained several times while we were on the beach it was still lovely and warm. We were treated to several breaks in the clouds which reminded us how hot it actually was without the cloud cover. All morning it was dark clouds and showers all around with a soothing sea breeze.
Around 2:00 the weather brightened up and the clouds became less prevalent with more sunshine and it started to get hot. It turned out to be a really beautiful afternoon. We stayed on the beach until 4:00 before getting a taxi back to the cruise terminal.
This last bit is written in the hope I will find some free WiFi. If I do there will be more than 3 photos, if I don’t it will be ships WiFi and less photos.
