Our last day of shore excursions and we were tired. Luckily today's adventure was pretty laid back as we drove around the island a bit. Our tour guide showed us around in his van. The countryside was beautiful and I swear you can see the ocean from anywhere you are. The houses are so colourful, I want to live in every single one.
Our first stop was to an iguana farm. As we made our way down the stairs we saw that these iguanas were just lounging around, we had to be careful where we stood because they were everywhere! Thankfully they are herbivores or else I would've been screaming louder when they started charging at me. The guy in charge would give us cocoa leaves and as soon as the leaf was low enough we were swamped with iguanas at our feet.
There was also a fish farm in the ocean with numerous fish that measured at least 2 feet long. When someone would throw a little fish into the water, those monstrous fish would anticipate where it was going to land and dog pile (or should I say fish pile) on top of each other to get it.
Our next activity took us to another animal place where there were monkeys, a sloth, macaws, a weird anteater like animal, and even raccoons. They let us into the cage with the baby monkeys and we were bombarded with these creatures jumping on our heads and reaching into pockets and trying to play with cameras. Such playful and mischievous animals.
They let us hold the sloth and she would grab our shoulders with her sharp inch long claws as if we were just a normal tree limb.
There was also a little baby night monkey who was so cuddly and just wanted to hide her head in our armpits.
Normally they have four macaws (two sets of mates) but only Jack and Rose where there. They each have such different personalities just like people. Jack was friendly and let us hold him when we had seeds in our hands.
But Rose was just eyeing us up the whole time until the end when she flew across the cage and tried to grab a girls hair.
After, we got relax on the beach for a couple hours in this little area that had a barrier to block the waves of the ocean. I swear the water was as warm as the air, it felt like bath water. Before this trip I didn't realize ocean water could be that warm.
When we got back on the ship we fell straight to sleep, after three days of excursions we were pretty tired.
We peeked through the stores on the cruise, including the candy store; Almost got blown away when we were walking around the deck; watched a bit of the dive in movie and then played mini golf before going for dinner.
They were serving escargots and I had to get some to compare them to the ones in France. I was a little disappointed because they didn't come with the shell on but nevertheless they were still tasty.
We went to the theatre again for a magic show. Our seats were right up close so we were in prime position to be called on as volunteers. Brad raised my hand up and volunteered me first, but later he got brought to the stage to get a sword through his neck so it evens out. We won our second bottle of champagne, and gave it to Ryan and Tori, from dinner, I think they hang out with us because we don't drink and they want all our champagne we win.
