Day 5 - A day at Antigua


Upon porting in Antigua at 7 a.m. we were greeted by pirate ships in the port, argh har har!  A few of us had pre-booked an excursion for the Antigua Rainforest Canopy Tour.  Never having ziplined before, my first time over a rainforest was glorious!  Going over a suspension bridge, down 9 zip lines up to 300 feet long and as high as 350 feet over the Fig Tree Drive Rainforest it was an exhilarating sight worth seeing.  I did feel my stomach in my throat a couple of times with the thrill of launching myself off a small platform attached to a small rope attached to a zip line over a huge valley which looked so far down, but wow what a rush!

Back on the ship drinks were flowing, tattoo's were being given and an evening spent at the one pool side bar while the kids swam and watched a movie on the big screen, the adults drank and played games and then hit up the casino to try our luck, some were winners I was a loser.  

The best ships are friendships!
