Day 7 – Half Moon Cay

Day 7 – Half Moon Cay

 

Today we docked at an island that Holland America leases from the Bahamas.   It was beautiful, talcum powder soft white sand, and clear turquoise water.  Wow.  A delight.   We got some beach chairs and the fun began.   R was in and out of the water.   We alternated between the simple beach and a play structure they had built that had 2 small water slides.   They also had some floating logs/crabs/sharks for the kids to climb on tethered in the water.  We were there by about 8:30 and were in the water until close to 12pm.

 

Further down the island they had a BBQ with fresh salads and fruit.  They had these little huts spread out past the kitchen/grill area.  Each hut had 9 picnic tables, and was surrounded by tropical bushes.  It was a delightful place to eat lunch.   Shortly after that we caught the tender back to the ship, and R had a nap.  After daddy and her went swimming again, and I started packing.  Our vacation is over.   We look forward to being home, and celebrating Christmas with you our friends and family.
