Breakfast at Cabanas one last time (with one more Mickey waffle) and waiting for the ship to be cleared so we can go ashore. While we were watching the crew unload everything off the ship that was needed for a day on the Cay, we saw Jack Sparrow getting a lift!
See ya in a little while Jack!
That island was just sitting there waiting for people! So, we left Cabanas and went down my favorite hallway again :)
Again, we went down to deck 1 and went ashore. They were handing out a ton of towels, I think we grabbed 2 each and walked towards the Post Office. I already had some postcards filled out, we just needed Bahamian stamps. Mailed my cards and we were on our way.
I saw the first tram filling up with people, so I figured we would just walk to the next stop. It was a nice walk along the tram route. Saw the ship docked, several characters were out for photos. Found a restroom, but no tram stop. 'Well, it must be up this way more'. No signs? Weird... 'Let's just walk a bit more, they have to be up here somewhere'. We walked around a corner and saw that we were now walking on the old landing strip! No tram stop in sight!!! So, we trekked down the very loooooooong, hot, hard, concrete landing strip. We walked the entire way to the adult beach! I wanted to buy a 5K t-shirt after that.
So, we found the adult beach (can't miss it now that you are on the adult side of the island). Walked down a good part of the beach and found an umbrella with 4 chairs. 2 loungers and 2 low, sand chairs. The water was very choppy. Friends of ours said in all of their trips there, this was the choppiest. So, we acted like 8 year olds and bobbed up and down in the waves every other 1/2 hour or so. It was fun!
As we relaxed for a while, Steve noticed Captain Jack strolling the beach. Adults were approaching him for photos. We thought, why not! And those photos will not see the light of the internet :)
But there is Kirk and Kevin, friends that we met from Memphis! They look fantastic for the beach though ;)
Lunch was great on the island too. There was a lot to choose from, picnic style. They even had crew handing out ice water while people were in line for the buffet.
We enjoyed the day. Steve enjoyed a bucket of beer, I enjoyed a few cocktails. It was a very nice day! (Except the part about walking all the way to the beach...)
Then we had to say 'see ya next time' to the Cay. A rainbow farewell...
Our final dinner was at Animators Palate, one last time. Handed out our tip envelopes to our servers and said goodbye. We asked around the table and everyone said they would be there for breakfast the next morning. we agreed to exchange contact information. I think we all 'friended' each other at the airport, before we even made it home :)
And they sang Happy Birthday to Steve that night, along with a birthday button and dessert in addition to his Sweet Tempations. Nice birthday, huh?!
Time to pack up our things and set them outside for pick up. Hey, table mates! Don't forget to leave your clothes and shoes out for traveling tomorrow! ;)
And one last Mickey bar from room service :) It sure was a very magical voyage! And may I say, NOT A SINGLE DROP of rain anywhere, anytime! Magical...
