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!
