Omg. One port more beautiful than the next. We opted to skip the tour and enjoy a day at the beach on the Mediterranean Sea. Took a taxi to Son Bou beach. So beautiful Beautiful steep rock walls Stunning scenery Loved this island! The views tonight and almost full moon were beguiling and we spent much of the late afternoon and early evening enjoying them, the hot tub, a late dinner and two very intense games of Scrabble- this time I won both games handily.

After a rough night at sea we slept thru our 8 am tour and woke almost at noon. Hopped off the ship and grabbed a quick lunch in the port area at a lovely French restaurant (mole et frites and lasagna) before boarding next to a massive Virgin cruise ship for a 2:30 departure. Sorry Napoleon- we missed seeing your birthplace We continued the scrabble tournament (5-4. Amy) and then to reading on the back of the ship under a blanket as we steamed thru the beautiful Med passing lovely islands and enjoying a little tea and cake. Room service and movie Otto and in bed by 9:30! Quiet day! Sadly no photos. Xo
