We woke up very slow…
To a beautiful rainbow…

Over the bay with water in all shades of green
Like seldom can be seen.

There are 365 beaches here they say
One for every day!

The highest point at 1319 feet recently got more fame
Since 2009 “Barack Obama” is its new name!

Locals play cricket with zest
And of all drinks like rum the best.

Slavery exists no more
Since it was abolished in August 1834.

But each year they continue to celebrate this day
In a Carnival way.

The largest military base ever, here at sea
Is part of the British maritime history.

The locals seem friendly and at ease
And appear eager to please.

They use their powers in a gracious way…
To sell their ware to cruisers that are only here for a day.

We also fell prey…
To their charming way.

The afternoon we spend on the balcony
And enjoyed the multicolor water as far as we could see

I know that after I can no longer cruise.
This image in my mind I will not lose.
