An Iguana in Aruba and the Queen Victoria

The Queen Victoria is now back at sea, having left Aruba, but here she is whilst still in dock.



For those not quite sure where Aruba is, it's in the heart of the Southern Caribbean, about 15 miles (20Km), off the coast of Venezuela.

Robin took great delight in making a new friend. A 2 and a half foot Iguana that happened to be passing by.



Then there's the statue in the square:



Robin now feels it's safe enough to send a few photographs, and I feel brave enough to look at them. (See yesterdays blog)
He did spend some time on land, but as always, his thoughts are never far away from the next concert.
Consequently he usually returns to his room to practice after a quick look around.
Still, it's very nice to be able to take a break in such beautiful surroundings.

All Animals are Equal....

Robin sent me this photo the other day, taken whilst in Fort Lauderdale.



This one is of the Queen Victoria, in dock, whilst passengers, and Robin, enjoy some time on land.



He has now arrived in Aruba, but as yet, hasn't sent me any photographs.
There's a reason for this.
He daren't.
Today is son number ones 11th birthday and he has 6 friends over for a sleepover.
That makes a total of 8 children in the house.
And me.
Robin has 'phoned and spoken to the birthday boy, and sent him an iCard.
Plus he did set up a drum kit before leaving which somehow I managed to keep hidden.
Thankfully, so far, the party goers haven't asked to try them out.
I'm desperately hoping it stays that way.

Robin has, quite rightly realised, that to see images of Caribbean beaches, may just be too traumatic for me.
Maybe by midday tomorrow I'll be able to face it...
