Our last day of the long Pacific Ocean sail. Tomorrow we will reach Nuka Hiva. The weather has been wonderful all the way. Every day like the one pictured-
After viewing the lava fields, we enjoyed a stop at the Bodegas Rubicon, where we tasted some of the local wine and cheese. The vineyards here are very different looking-vines are planted inside semicircular lava stone walls in rows. The wine is refreshing and we brought back a few bottles to enjoy on the ship. I’ve included some pictures of the winery, which was very beautiful.
On our way from Walvis Bay to Sandwich Bay, we stopped to see the beautiful flamingos. We were surprised to learn that these flamingos can fly up to 40 miles per hour!
Yesterday was the 150th anniversary of Holland America. To celebrate, all the ships in the fleet had a gala dinner. Our ship also celebrated with a huge party on the Lifo deck, which featured hundreds of tulips, a fabulous band, a huge cake. In addition the President of Holland America flew in to speak to us and to spend a few days on the ship.
Looking good! Sherry
