A Navini Out And About Day.

Fresh fruit. Before I forget to mention it, Linda absolutely loves the fresh fruit bowl we have with breakfast every morning.

Well, to be totally accurate, Linda loves everything they serve for breakfast. Clean Plate Linda.

Big resorts have line after line of activities. Navini is a lot more laid back, and that is what made it so appealing. The next to last line says what Life is all about.

Off to a big resort to see how the other half “works” at relaxing.

Just to show you how bored we were at the big resort we went to on the morning outing, Linda and I climbed the mountain that rose up behind it.

Still climbing. I can assure you it was long before the smile had vanished form Linda’s face, and the words, this is as far as I’m going were uttered.

One of the views I saw from the top.

What most of the views from the top were like. Smart Linda for not climbing to the top.

Snake plant in the wild. This was the real reason I climbed the mountain as there was a sign at the bottom detailing the various plants that could be seen along the trail. Of course I never saw any at all on the way up. Coming down I did discover this small patch of snake plant about 30 feet from the bottom. There are some things that just aren’t worth the effort. this was one of them.

Wouldn’t you know it, the view from where I saw the snake plant was better than the view from the top. Some things really, really, aren’t worth it. Tired Bob. Not Tired Linda.

Pretty picture. Another of those, I don’t know what it is, but it sure is pretty moments. The tree that is, the pretty woman is my wonderful wife, the one who was yelling, “Not there, over to your right. Are you sure all the tree is showing? Now take the photo.”

How everything gets to Navini.

All the ice cream here is made here. All the ice cream on the plate gets eaten. The cake also.

Footwear comes off before you enter any building. Linda quickly decided it was easier taking off flip flops than her shoes. and bought a pair. I guess you could say she flip flopped on the footwear question. Groaner Bob.

 

Linda snorkel update: Today she got brave enough to to go out into waist deep water. It took quite a while, but she eventually picked her feet up off the bottom and and began swimming on the surface. Watching underwater I could see that every once in a while she would get into panic mode, with her legs thrashing around madly as she tried to plant her feet on the bottom, though in time she became more and more confident and got out to shoulder deep water. I was the good husband and never strayed more a few feet from her. The best part was she actually saw several small fish. I now call her Linda, the soon to be snorkel queen. Proud Bob.

Around the World in 128 Days - Arrival at Ft. Lauderdale and back home again

Image
  The Cruise is Over - May 11, 2024 - 5,904 Steps It was over months ago we walked out to this same spot shortly after we boarded the ship. Then it was a glorious and joyous afternoon, today it was a glorious but sad morning.  Instead of watching to see if could recognize our luggage being loaded aboard the Zuiderdam, it was watching to see if we could spot it being off loaded. The lineup of trucks bringing provisions for the next sailing that would be leaving a few hours. Trucks were lined up in the far distance awaiting their turn to unload. Port Everglades is a very busy cruise ship terminal. There was a staggering amount of food to be loaded onto the ship. A pallet of apples. A last look at the old home place that served us so well for the past mounts. Literally shutting the door on one of the most awesome adventures we have ever been on. But the fall of next year we will be opening the door on an another one. We patiently waited for our group, Gray 1, to be called. The lu...

Around the world in 128 Days - San Juan, Puerto Rico

  Travel Day 126 - May 8, 2024 - 7,666 Steps Joe and Patrick our room stewards who have gone way beyond and above to not only keep our room in perfect conditions, but also have a great sense of humor. If it looks familiar it's because it the same one I recently read. I mentioned to Linda I thought she would enjoy reading it, and she did. You never know how things like this are going to turn out. It proved to be great from original songs, standup comedians, dancing, musical instruments. There's talent hidden amongst the ship's passengers. It took a while after Jose And Grace were transferred  from the Lido, but in the opposite corner of the Lido we found Lisna, who was every bit as awesome as they were. David's history presentation, proving once again that only a tiny bit of history is about names and dates like we were taught in high school. A cartoon from several centuries ago portraying the effects of consuming too much sugar on the King of England. And it is a slight...

Around the World in 128 Days - At Sea Day Next to Last Day of the Cruise

  Travel Day 127 - May 9, 2024 - 5,904 Steps Gonna miss this view in a few days. With the cruise drawing ever closer to be over, Linda has certainly been glad of the many "Linda" sea days like today.. The laundry always comes back with one of these stickers on each article. Too bad it took until the last week to learn we could have pulled them off when putting the freshly laundered cloths away. All that scratchy itchy underwear!  Linda once again in the front row for Kim's interview. It was the bridge officers turn this morning. There is so much we learned about the operation of the ship from these sessions. David is ending his lectures with one today and tomorrow on Russia. Ivan set the tone for what Russia is even today. Enemies of the Russian ruler are simply killed. It's been that way for over 450 years. The last Tsar. And what came after the tsars was just as bad. It was little things like this which made the voyage so interesting. How one puts a survival suit on...
