Whoever said ‘it’s not the heat, it’s the humidity’ knew of what they spoke. It was stinkin’ hot here in Cartagena today and the humidity was above 90%. You couldn’t do anything without breaking into a sweat.
We’d been before, so just visited the cruise terminal where there’s an Aviary and a Zoo. I saw my first real live anteater today, plus all kinds of birds and monkeys.
I had to make the difficult decision tonight to cancel my excursion that I had booked for Costa Rica. I was going to get up close with some sloths. Unfortunately, I’ve developed a bit of a head/chest cold. Being that it was a verrrrrry expensive excursion, to the tune of nearly $300US, I couldn’t risk being too sick to partake. So tonight I canceled.
Needless to say, I’m keeping a pretty low profile around the ship…I don’t want to get forced into isolation.
So tonight it’s time for my Christmas Eve tradition…watching National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation. Ya can’t beat it!
Happy Christmas Eve everyone!
