Island #2

I gotta say; the balcony was my favorite place to be, the wind was breezy nice. I'm glad I ended up with the sofa bed. I'd leave the balcony door open, just lay on the bed and relax. It was 99% perfect. The only thing to ruin it were my sibs. My brother would ramble about his pool trips and people he met and my little sister would open up the mini fridge asking what vodka was. And then wave the bottle around. Because of that (I was 20 at the time) I wasnt allowed to be left alone in the room. :/

Enjoying the breeze.

This second island was my least favorite, it wasn't horrible, mostly like based around tourists. But the economy there was saddening. On one side of the island they had billion dollar homes that celebrities owned and on the other side - was the slums. Literally. We got separated from our tour guide/bus and ended up deeper in the slums than normal. I felt miserable when I saw a little 4 year old boy whose legs were deformed. And there was nothing I could do. I felt helpless. Stupid celebrities.

Oprah and Tom Cruise had homes here.

 

After cruising by  thirty or so different celebrity houses all the while getting extremely annoyed by the guide who kept saying "ya man" we reached our destination. We saw schools of fish nibbling on bread that the captain of the boat threw above us. They were so pretty! I even saw a fish that looked like Dori from Finding Nemo! The camera wasn't taking very sharp pictures through the glass, it was thick and dirty, but I did what I could.

They look like underwater bumblebees.

 

These fish were lavender and yellow!

We did a little more sightseeing around the island. But everyone was just kinda out of it. I really wanted to go to the zoo, they had a flamingo show. Trained the flamingos to do a little dance or something, but papa bear said "no, thats enough for one day". On the way back to the ship, we saw flickers in the water. Lemme just say that the water at this island (near the ships at least) was dirty and gross looking. I didn't think anything could survive in it, but lo and behold. We saw tiny little fishies jumping out of the water.

 

I wanted to scoop one in a bowl and take it home.
