Wow 2 weeks since we blogged - sorry !
What have we been doing? Well our friends Tessa, Clive and Christopher (aka Chip) came to stay onboard over Christmas and New Year which was great. They got to see a little bit of what ship life is like and even got to sail as we moved berths (backwards about 800 yards) as shown in the picture.
Christmas onboard is pretty low key compared to being in England, with the focus being very much on Christ and on spending time with friends onboard the ship. We had a service Christmas Eve (just after our Christmas dinner - yum) and then awoke Christmas morning to find lots of sweets and small gifts outside our door from friends onboard.
New Years Eve we had a dance onboard which we all got dressed up for, then a buffet of sweet treats followed at midnight by fireworks courtesy of the dockyard.
Since then it's been back to work for me (Rob) whilst Anne entertains and looks after the children. They go back to school on the 26th Jan so 2 more weeks of wandering around the beautiful parks here first. This shot shows the bamboo walkway near the top of the park.

Yes, our first Ocean Cruise, from the Santa Cruz north dock to the south dock (dique sud ?) 1/2 a mile away. I think we handled the surge & sway quite well, Clive, Tessa & chip
