Cruising the waters around the Indonesian islands is both calming and exciting.
Where am I?
SO, WHAT’S BEEN HAPPENING
This morning the seas were very calm and the cruising was smooth. By sunset, there were lightning storms visible at various places around the horizon. I love lightning storms and still find them exciting and fascinating to watch.
Something of import did happen on this day but, let’s start at the beginning.
On the first or second day of the trip, I went to the Sea View Bar (Lido deck, aft) and asked for a shot of Don Julio reposed tequila, one of my favorites. It was happy hour, so a second shot was only $2. I know a good deal when I see one, so I had a second shot.
The next night, I had two more.
On my third visit, Reb (you met him earlier) the bartender, set that bottle of Don Julio aside just for me. Then on nights when tequila was my preference, he’d pull out my “special” bottle and pour me a shot or two (usually two.)
Tonight, I finished that bottle. Top to bottom, it was all mine! I had Red and Kennedy (you met him, too) decorate the label of the bottle and give it to me as a souvenir.
And here it is.
I think that was a great way to end a day at sea. Don’t you?
What’s coming up?
Tomorrow, I visit Java. I don’t have high expectations, but we’ll just have to see how it all turns out.
