Friday post #8

Friday- Castaway Cay.

We wake up to another beautiful day and the ship is backing into Castaway Cay.

We head up to Top Siders for Breakfast this morning, and then we head down to spend the day on the beach. We are joined by Donald who walks off the ship with the girls.

We decided to rent bikes this morning and explore the bike trails. S is a little rusty but no way does she want a bike with training wheels and after 15 minutes is riding like a pro again.

We head to the tower and are able to see the island.

By now it is getting hot so we headed to the beach. The play structure is closed I guess due to low tide and the water is cold so we do not spend long in the water. The girls play in the sand and then decide they are hungry.

We have lunch and head back to the beach. Someone had taken the second lounge chair that we had our stuff on, and both girls want to sleep so we decided to head back to the ship for a nap.

I do some of the dreaded packing and the girls rest and watch tv.

Being our last day we took a tour to the favorite spots, Beat Street and Shuffle Board for one last visit. While in Beat Street Mickey comes out of the Lounge and the girls have a visit with Mickey as he walks by.

Our last dinner was in Lumiers and it is just us again, for another nice peaceful dinner. We quickly said good bye to our servers as we headed to the lounge for the talent show.

At this point L had a breakdown, I think she realized that the trip was coming to an end and she only had 1 chance to be alone with me. S was a good sport and went to the kids club and L and I had a couple of hours alone. L did a great job in the talent show and was so pleased with herself when she got a certificate for participating.

Anytime we had questions we ended up at the Guest Service desk and a young man from Bulgaria always seemed to help, and L was most disappointed when he was not there to show her certificate to, but several of the cruise staff stopped to congratulate her so she was pleased.

We quickly picked up S from the clubs and headed to Remember the Magic show. In the show was a ventriloquist. I thought I had seen the girls giggle a lot already, but it was nothing compared to tonight, wow did the girls enjoy that show.

The girls exhausted once again we headed back to the room to finish the packing. I was able to pack all the luggage and get it out in time for the 11:00 PM deadline. I packed much lighter this time, but we still had too much stuff.
