Last night I got to finally watch some hockey. Luckily for me it was Game 7 of the Stanley Cup Finals. So just before game time I went up to Lido deck, found a seat beside some fellow Canadians and we watched as Boston Bruins bitch slapped the Vancouver Canucks. It was a great night! BIG THANKS to our Cruise Director Goose for putting the game on the big screen!
Grand Turks is uncomfortably hot today. The moment you step onto the gangway you can feel the heat & humidity... and the sweat start to drip down your back. All I wanted to do today in the port was to find a strong wireless signal, take some pictures, write a blog and get a cold smoothie.
Two out of 4 is not good. I took a few photos and got my cold slushy drink. There is supposed to be free wifi there but on this particular day I could not connect to it. As I sat there trying to write my blog in the corner of the smoothie shop surrounded by a long line of people, I felt like a roast in the oven basting in my own perspiration. Not a pretty site.
The Island of Grand Turks is a beautiful place. Next time I am here I am going to take the advice of one of the super cruisers (someone who cruises 7 times a year for the last 15 years) Linda and rent a golf cart and explore the island. It sounds like a relaxing way to spend the day here.
I miss hockey. The Stanley Cup is happening and I am missing it because none of the channels on the cruise ship carry the NHL. That being said I am enjoying the NBA finals... GO DALLAS GO.
It was a nice Inn. The people were fantastically friendly; especially John the bartender and Binky the Rum Factory tour guide. My room was okay. The king size bed was comfortable, the TV did not work, there wasn't hot water in the shower, the air conditioning worked TOO well and there was a HUGE cockroach in there; So big I named him Bobo.
