Half Moon Cay, Bahamas

Today was amazing! Half Moon Cay is pretty much just a big beach island out in the Bahamas. Carnival Cruise Line has a sweet little set up here and brings cruisers here for beach fun and adventure. There isnt really a city or town on this island. When the cruisers arent here, there's really no one here. We did a Snorkle and Stingrays adventure tour. It was awesome!  Stingrays are so soft and cuddly. I couldnt believe I was snorkeling and petting these big creatures. Obviously these are pretty tame and used to travelers coming to see them, and they know exactly when feeding time is.

After the bus took us back to the main beach, Brian and I layed out for a while and swam in the crystal clear water...and the beer and strawberry daquiri's werent bad either.  I almost fell asleep on the lounge chair. The sun was hot, but the breeze was strong and cool, so it really made for a nice nap time.  Again, check back for pictures when I upload them from home. My words just cannot do the scenery justice. These are some of the most goregous beaches and water that I've ever seen. 

We got back to the ship early in the afternnon, about 2:00pm. This gave us time to have a late lunch and a good nap before dinner. I sat out on our room balcony for a while too, just listening the water softly hit the ship. We were tethered out in the water and had to take smaller passenger carrier boats to shore.  The ships have to do this when the water isnt deep enough for the cruise ships to pull up to a pier.

Off to the Lido Deck to get some chocolate soft serve icecreme. Yummy!!
