Southern Caribbean Cruise Days Three & Four

AT SEA

This was a sea day and very relaxing.  Don worked most of the morning on a picture directory for the people on the Martin Cruise.  It was a lot of fun to see old acquaintances and put names to faces.

I went to the scrapbooking class and saw Ashley and Yamari there.  Afterwards we got tickets for the ice show on board.  

We took advantage of the free day to lay out by the pool for a little while and then got ready for "Formal Night".  

DAY FOUR - ARUBA

We decided to go scuba diving in Aruba.  For two reasons - we were coming up on our two year mark for diving and wanted to keep our certification curren
t and secondly they had Nitrox.  (A higher concentration of oxygen for divers).  We had a blast.  It was great to do a wreck dive in fairly shallow water.  The Antilla Wreck was awesome and we were both glad we went diving in Aruba.  
Here is a picture of the Aruba coastline from the scuba boat.



Here is Michelle with our Dive Masters - Silvae and Nathalie

After our dive we went back to the ship for lunch and then headed into town to buy the Gouda Cheese.  What a deal and yes you can bring it back into the US as long as the wax isn't broken.
