Mom Went Down And Took Me Out!

So now these next 4 days are all different from our original schedule. Today was supposed to be a sea day followed by two days in Israel. Then a sea day and Crete. Now that Israel is out of our itinerary, we are not having a sea day today and Mom was counting on that. You see, she has been having problems with irregularity so finally, last night, after holding off for so long, she ate 20 prunes and 3 glasses of prune juice. Today she was out. In the morning we missed the 10am boat to town because of too much time in the bathroom. We went to breakfast before leaving the ship and Mom went to the bathroom twice and we missed the 11am boat. We waited for the 1pm boat but she felt she couldn't go so we skipped the whole day. She was feeling better by the late afternoon and we went for a nice dinner.

But first there was a big party at one of the pools with free booze for everyone. Mom had a margarita and I some punch drink. They were good. We had dinner with some people from Australia who made it to the town today and said it was nice. Then we went to the show, songs from the 90s. Then to the marriage game, a show similar to the "Newlywed Game". Now it's back to our room, a sit on the balcony listening to the ocean and to bed. Not sure about an excursion for tomorrow but definitely, no more prunes.

This is the boats we never made
It takes people free of charge from the port to the town. You can walk too but that's not happening
