We had a bit of trouble getting some good computer time but things are better today. For the past 2 days we have been in ports. 2 days ago we stopped on the the Island of Routan. Carnival has developed a brand new facility which will be the key site for them. We were the first ship of the corporation to actually dock there. It has all the shops - some still being finished as well as a well developed beach with all the things you would expect. They even have a ski lift to take you the short distance if you choose not to walk.
We selected a "mountain" hike and it actually turned out to be a good climb through the forest. Our group had 4 people in it so there was plenty of time to see the variety of plants. The guide was very good and explained the many different types of plants and trees and what they can be used for. It was a good but very tiring hike. Part of the way had a rope to hang onto as the slopes were quite steep.
The rest of the place was pretty depressed and I can see why they built a new dock outside the main area. There were at least 2 other ships in that port that day. We were pretty exhausted when we returned to the ship. That night we went to the wine and cheese are party and we were the first name pulled for a free piece of are. we picked something that will eventually hang in the Florida condo.
