Sunday, March 25th, was a sea
day Tonight was Gala night, and we went
to the Pinnacle - green pea soup (very nice) chateaubriand and for dessert,
chocolate cake.
Monday, March 26th, the Ship
docked at Manta, Ecuador, and we took the Holland America excursion Best of
Manta ($99.95). The tour lasted for 6
hours and the bus was full.
We went to see how Panama hats were made - many bought hats - and then to a button making site.
Then to a little restaurant in the middle of the rain forest – there was an included bottle of coke here, and we made some plantation cheese balls.
Then to a beach (very hot) to see a turtle site, and
then back to the Ship (Tip $5).
For dinner, chilled berry soup, pasta with ox tail,
and for dessert, chocolate cake, and a beer.
