Monday 19th January- A day at sea

After the slight disappointment of St Lucia main town we are looking forward to Aruba which we understand has a better reputation, but let’s see. Today was all about sea miles to Aruba and so in the morning we took it a little easy and then off to the Gym for about one hour of walking, cycling and workouts. After another shower we had lunch of a bowl of soup together with a sandwich which was going to be enough.
The afternoon was spent lazing around until such time as we needed to get ready for the evening Black Tie function, dressing up for the fourth time and another three times to go. We checked the menus to the two restaurants and decided that the carvery would be nice for a change but as we were a little early we went outside on deck for a pre-dinner drink in the warm sunshine. From there to the restaurant only to find very few couples were following the BLACK TIE request which was a little surprising but none there less we enjoyed our light meal and then retired back to the outside bar to finish off the wine and listen to the rather good music.
An easy day really but it will hopefully prepare us for tomorrow.
