though. Including disembark and embarking time. You would think we
would be sick of the ocean since we "sea" it every day and every night
but nope. 80% of us still decided to make the 45 minute cab ride to
the beach for our "Spring Break." Brandie and I really wanted to
learn how to surf but because of the time restraints we ended up just
chilling at the beach. There is something about hearing the waves lap
against the shore that is so relaxing. It gives me the chills
thinking about it (in a good way).
Every single thing we do on the ship is reflected on. This is
especially true for Mauritius. Because of the reputation Mauritius
has from past voyages and the true lack of time to do anything
"cultural" 37 people were sent to the drunk tank upon entry back on
the ship. It's very hard for me to take a side in the discussion that
ensued during our Mauritius reflection (or what I like to call the
Mauritius debate). Obviously it is unacceptable to be so wasted that
you have to be carried from your cab up the gangway. But I think it
stems from our society back at home as well as on the ship. When
drinking becomes so tabooed that it is restricted because of our
"inability to handle it responsibility," what is the first thing that
college students want to do when they're in a situation where they
have free reign? They go crazy.
Anyways, I had an enjoyable time in Mauritius and met many new people
that I wouldn't have otherwise.
Exit Africa.
PS. I'm doing my hand wash laundry today. I don't know how I end up
with so much of it!! I dislike it. (I only cleaned 5 out of maybe 20
shirts/items)
