Porto Belo, Brazil February 27

We could not remember being in this stop in 2012 until we took the tender to shore and saw the town area and remembered just walking around.  Our tour departed about half an hour late because of the large swell and the difficulty loading the tenders.  Our tour was to a park area where we rode a gondola up to an amusement area.  We took a walk down 200 steps where there was a viewing platform (that meant 200 steps back up!) unfortunately the view was exactly the same as the one from the gondola.  We then took another gondola down to a beach area where we only had 10 minutes to spend there before taking the gondola cars back to where the buses were parked.  It was a very warm, humid day so we were glad to get back to the ship.

The first section of the ride 
Small cars were for up to six people 
 Nice view of the luxury condo area
The view from the platform















We were supposed to have an event for Gold, Platinum and Titanium guests on the forward deck area (normally restricted to crew) for sail away at 4:30 pm.  Luckily the event was moved indoors to the Observation Lounge as about 4 pm  a thunderstorm hit with heavy rain, thunder and lightning.

Nice ice sculpture for our afternoon event
Lots of nice tempting sweet treats

There was a major problem on the ship.  We are out of Ketel One vodka.  Tom has actually started drinking Grey Goose and Belvedere. He is trying to organize an airlift.

  1. Red Alert! Ketel One emergency. Too bad you are having so many issues with the ship.
