| Isle of Pines |
We have been here before with the boys when we did a cruise in 2011 on the Pacific Dawn so knew how gorgeous the beach and water was going to be. It hasn't changed at all, still just as lovely.
After a short tender ride over we followed the path to the water but not before checking out the market stalls that were set up. Always nice to have a look at what the locals have to offer. Unfortunately for the most part all the island seem to sell pretty much the same things just at different prices and with a different island name written or carved onto them. Saved our money.

| Mum looks like she's on a mission! |
 |
| This was once a boat motor which was found at the bottom of the ocean not far from here |

Mum and the boys did some snorkelling, plenty of fish to see this side of the island. A very popular spot for snorkelling.
 |
| No surfing here, very calm waters to bob around in. |
After they'd seen all the fish they wanted to we headed over to the beach side of the island, about a 2 minute walk and closer to the tender dock. We enjoyed a bit of sun and bobbing about in the water before deciding to head back to the ship. I think lunch must have been calling us!

| Almost back! |
Another speedy trip back on the tender and straight up to the waterslides for the boys. They loved the slides and seeing that so many people were off the ship they could pretty much just walk up the stairs and straight on.
 |
| Green Thunder time! |
Mister 13 and I went for a bit of a wander around the top parts of the ship we hadn't been to before. We found a whole deck area we didn't know existed! Plus I got some great photos of him and the Whale Tail!

We could hear the band playing so headed over to the lido deck and enjoyed listening to them from above.

Not long after we found the others and joined them on the lido watching them lift the tenders back into place, must mean we're just about to leave. Which also means we're heading home. None of us could believe how quick the cruise was going.

We were sailing through this small passage on our way back home so the boys and I went to the front of the ship to have a look. Incredible skill in getting this big ship through here, not much room and apparently in some places it isn't very deep either. Thankfully we made it through safely!

| Heading home |
Dinner was calling so a (very) quick freshen up and straight to the restaurant.
 |
| Blueberry Pie - droooooooool |
Heading home now, our second last sea day tomorrow.
