Emerald Princess Cruise Day 3 – Antigua

Awesome time in Antigua. Went up to the ruins of an old English fort from the 1700's and to Shirley point lookout where there were some fantastic views of English Bay. I think I got some great photos. Then down to the Nelson Shipyard - Named for ?Horatio Nelson who was stationed in Antigua for 3 years in the 18^th century. This is where the English Caribbean fleet stopped for repairs and Careening – or cleaning Barnacles of their hulls.

The only bad thing was that I got separated form sue and Dave because the bus was overloaded so I went on my own. It wasnt awful – I've done excursions on my own and I was much more comfortable in a real seat than I would have been in a jump seat. Had a free refreshment at the dockyard. A Rum Punch made with 151 that was very strong. Then back to the ship for lunch and a dip and nap before trivia. WE are sort of fading in trivia but we do have time to come back. Very nice dinner in the dining toom. The Fetuccini Alfredo in a parmasean bowl is GREAT here and I had a cream of roasted garlic soup that was mmmm so good. Then drambuie souffle with pear sauce – tres decandant. When I get home I really want to try making a souffle.

After dinner we just chatted until Movie poster trivia and 60's music trivia. We did ok in both but didnt win. Then came up to the stateroom early because tomorrow it St Lucia and I have a full day planned. Sulfur Springs, the Pitons, a Catamaran ride and then the beach. Lots of sun tomorrow!
