A Grand Adventure – May 2019 - Day 5 - visiting paradise
Sunday 19 May – Visiting Paradise on Castaway Cay
Day 4 is here Index is here Welcome back to our three nights around the Bahamas on the Disney Dream. Tomorrow we would be back in Orlando carrying on with our theme park fun, but today we had one last day of rest, relaxation, and delicious food that night at my favourite restaurant, Remy, for my early birthday celebration. Well, that was the plan. Remember how R disappeared the night before and wasn’t well? I woke in the middle of the night to find that she was really poorly, we’ll avoid details but her stomach was not happy. I think we were both thankful that R had the bed closer to the bathroom. When I woke again at 5:30am R was firmly in the land of nod. I stumbled onto the veranda to find the most tranquil of scenes, the world was asleep, the moon was full and the ship was moving at a decent pace through the seas to our next destination. It was glorious. You can just see another couple of cruise ships far off on the horizon there It was so dark that the full moon almost looked like the sun I threw on my bathing suit cover up, grabbed Herc the camera, and crept out of our stateroom, taking care to ensure that I was not waking up the other one. Herc was somewhat confused in the lift lobby – it was warm out on the veranda, but here inside the ship the air conditioning had the place chilled to icy cold, leaving the lens all foggy. I’m rather fond of the almost spooky results in my mirror self portrait – it’s a 70’s horror movie waiting to happen. Shall we head out on deck? You might ask why I was on the deck of a silent cruise ship at 5:45 in the morning, all by myself. If you have “enjoyed” one of my trip reports before you will have seen a redonkulous amount of sunrise photos. There was no way I was missing a DCL sunrise. I had slightly mistook how early I needed to be up and about, but that meant that other than bumping into the occasional crew member cleaning, I had the whole place to myself. It was bliss. The ice cream booth was closed though. Sad times. I mean, look at that full moon. It was like nature had provided a spotlight on the Dream Once I headed right to the top of the ship in the adult only area I started to get a glimpse of that sunrise peeking over the horizon. But behind me, the moon was still high in the dark indigo sky The lower level of the adult only area – I adore that pool, and those large portholes are windows into Cove Café (the only place to get a good cup of coffee on the ship) One of the bars in the adult only area, we never did make it up here for a drink. It was a little before 6:30am when the sun started to pop up over the horizon And my solitude started to creep away That land on the horizon there? Castaway Cay, a place I had been chomping at the bit to visit again since that first cruise 5 years ago. I was excited, and delighted to be using the big camera again apparently. Shockingly, I really was brutal with the edit button here, only sharing a fraction of the photos I ended up taking that morning. Really. It was just so beautiful
