Cruise to the Bahamas....


Wow, it's been ages since i've updated this site! We've been up to so much lately i've barely had time to turn the PC on! Marco and I just got back from a 4 day cruise to the Bahamas with Marco's parents and needless to say it was an awesome experience! We drove from Charlotte down to Orlando to get on the ship but first spent a day in Sea World - where we even managed to drink free beer the whole day!! We had a bit of bad luck with the weatheron the cruise at first but there was plenty of stuff to do inside: casino, day spa, theatre, bars and restaurants, shops, FOOOOOOOOD!!!! Everything was fantastic, cruises are definitely recommendable! Anyway, the highlight was by far day number three - where the ship anchored in shallow water and we were ferried to "Coco Cay" - a private mini island owned by the cruise comp. Amazing!!! Live caribbean music going the whole day, white sands, palm trees and coconuts, snorkelling with hundreds of fish and finding a crashed plane and sunken boat (no, they were planted there!)...i even managed to get my first full-body tan...at 25...how sad! Marco got so burnt though he had blisted on his back!
By the way last month i organised a surprise visit from Marco's best mate Thomas and we spent a couple of days in the great smokies in a beautiful log cabin and spotted some black bears! We also have met some people here over from Siemens Germany so it's cool to have some company. Though i almost can't believe it - finally back in an english speaking country and i'm still having to speak german all the time!!!!
