We were
supposed to disembark at 2:30, however when we arrived at the port there were
two ambulances and the police waiting for the ship. As I was wondering what
happened, I see a hears arrive, my morbid curiosities made me stay there
waiting for the coffin. They took a lady on a stretcher and after a while we
disembarked without knowing what happened.
We only visited the old city which
is very nice, I went with these two guys and a lady and we walked through the
city until we found a Starbucks café but there was so many people using their Wi-Fi
that we went walking some more until we found a Burger King. The cruise line
wants .65 a minute for the Wi-Fi so of course we were all looking for the free
ones.
All the parks and squares have free
Wi-Fi, however it was drizzling, so we needed an inside place.
Once all the emails were done, one
of the guys and lady left, they wanted to go for lunch on the ship, so I stayed
with the other guy and went to visit “El Morro” better known as the “Fort of
San Felipe del Morro”, built in 1539; it was very nice with its old walls and
tunnels. Beautiful views of the city, which is very nice with their old
buildings in bright colors some of which date back to the 16th and
17th century.
After the fort, of course, more walking. For
the people that knows me, that it’s not a surprise, for the new people, I walk
a lot, I been known to walk 8 to 10 hrs. a day when I am visiting a new place.
I would like to have expend more
time in that beautiful country.
When we come back to the ship the
hears was still there waiting for the police to finish the investigation. Later
on I found out that a man died.
Usually on longer cruises there are
a lot of older people, so you know that these things will happen. Too much
food, too much heat, too much excitement, not enough common sense. One day a lady felt
down and hit her head very badly, she stayed in the whirl pool for 1 ½ hrs, of
course she was dizzy and felt down.
Anyway, back to happier happenings.
Back on the ship for dinner and
then to dance the night away.
