Pirates...

Part of the compensation from the room f*ck up was a free excursion. Her condition ruled out most active ones, but we thought jack might enjoy the pirate ship. 

Bus down to Puerto Rico harbour. 





They had a new girl being the kids entatainer without which the only Pirate theme was the Captain shouting 'Rrrr' before any anoucment. 

We went up the coast on diesel power and dropped anchor off Puerto De Morgan. They set up a ladder off one side so people could have a swim. 

It was carnage. People trying to get up the ladder, who were knackered after treading water for so long in the wake of jet skis - and parents trying to come down with there kids. Kids who where balling and screaming not wanting to go in the sea having their fingers prised of the ladder one by one.

The whole thing was a health and safety nightmare. Vertical ladders, everyone barefoot with 7up and diesel sloshing around the floor with the swell of the boat. 


The magic was spoiled by someone throwing up over the side - I wasn't allowed to take any photies... 

Normally it's me. I felt ill on the phantom whale watching boat. This time I was feeling nauseous from the coach journey to and from.

Jack enjoyed it, they had a brief treasure hunt and a water ballon for everyone before we headed back to the harbour. 

Not a bad half day out, would have been good to have a plank to walk, not sure it was worth the €60 a head the others paid.
