There were shuttle busses to Walvis Bay but nothing was there. Six of us rented a van and went to Swakopmund which the other four hadn’t visited. We started at the craft market and then went through the local history museum which was small but provided a superb glimpse of the history, flora & fauna of that section of Namibia and it was well worth the visit. Next we went parked by the Hansa Hotel where the nicest shops in the city were located. We spent about 1 ½ hours there before returning to the ship for lunch and sail away at 3:00. There were a couple of games of Pooch before tea time. At 6:00 there was a Block Party where everyone steps outside their suite door with a wine glass to be filled by staff and meets & greets other guests on the floor. The Captain, General Manager and Cruise Director try to pass through all floors for a quick “cheers.”
A Brazilian samba troupe boarded today and before dinner they performed in Galileo’s. There are 3 musicians and a dance couple. After several minutes of performance they grabbed guests to dance and soon the dance floor was packed. They ended the session with a long conga line dancing around the perimeter of the lounge. We had dinner with friends, watched Marty Henne’s show and went to bed after turning the clocks back 1 hour to be on the same time zone as Amsterdam.
