The Adventures of Podge & Tubbs

Breakfast was quite leisurely, as it always is in the Epicurean, though I did need to provide some level of IT consultancy to a nice Valerie who was having trouble with WiFi and the on-board app: she had been misadvised on how to connect. Fortunately, the ‘Techno Guru’ (His Podgeness) was able to show Valerie what she needed to do to connect and provide strict instruction on what not do which of course she ignored but eventually learned what the correct way was all all was well.

We then joined an excursion called ‘Scenes of Curaçao’ – basically this was so that we could learn about their lovely big bridge (it is big), their ferry and their swing bridge before checking out a couple of churches and cemeteries before going to the Curaçao (pronounced Cure-ah-souw) distillery where we would be able to taste the famous liqueur and even learn how to make our own cocktails. We went there last year however so we just cut straight through to the samples and the shop. Finally, we got to our ultimate destination, Mambo Beach, where all the beautiful people go but, I still managed to get in ;-). Once there, we headed straight to our favourite bar (Riléks Beach Bar) and settled for our annual cocktail treat. We’ve been there many times before but still can’t remember the cocktails names so we just show a picture of the ones we had on our last visit.

The Duchess then bought yet another Caribbean Lady for her collection then back to the ship we went (to fill up the ‘Tat’ Shelf that the Duchess growing) to just chill 😎 for the rest of the afternoon before going for Dinner in the Glass House which was of course accompanied by a rather nice glass of Bacchus. By the time we finished our wine(s) and Cosmopolitans (for the Duchess) it was bed time 🥱 for some much needed sleep. 💤
