Our day on Aruba



We ending up not going to the beach today after all. After breakfast in the dining room, we walked into town in search of free WiFi. We both needed to check on things and pay bills. This was made more difficult by the bright sun and the heat. Our iPhones are unreadable in the sun, and so we had to find WiFi and shade in the same location. A/C would have been a bonus, but it wasn't to be. We had to settle for two out of three

Business complete, we walked back to the ship to gather our things for the beach. We were going to take a bus there- Aruba has a decent bus system, real buses, not just privately operated minivans. But we stepped back onto the cool, shaded ship and from that point on just couldn't convince ourselves to head out again to go to the beach. We had a light lunch, donned swimsuits and headed for the hot tub and pool. With views of the water and the boats coming and going, it was a good way to spend the afternoon.
