Last week part 5

We disembarked the ship and took the ferry to the island of Cococay, aka paradise on earth. The sea was very blue, the sand very white, the seaweed slimey as ever! We even got pretty close to a massive sting ray.

After swimming around in the ocean, our large group found refuge under some palm trees. I read, many tanned and slept, and Matt modeled. A treat for the mind and the eyes! What a day!

The island was gorgeous. There were hammocks everywhere!

When we got back to the ship, we all decided to hang at the pool, it still felt like we were in the ocean because it was a saline pool and there were small waves due to the boat rocking. And unfortunately yes, Matt was given a speedo, and yes, he sported it with far too much pride. Hopefully, this picture will not haunt me forever.
Arriving back to the room to get ready for dinner was another fun surprise! Matt and I had a new pet swan, this time wearing Robert Goulet's sunglasses. Bethany found a stingray in her bed, which kind of freaked me out a bit.
