2-24 Puerto Madryn

Our first port of call is Puerto Madryn, Argentina.  The ship is scheduled to arrive at the dock around 11.  But at 9 the Captain is on the PA informing us that the winds have picked up and there is a chance that the Ship will be unable to approach the long, exposed dock.

We don't have an excursion planned for this port.  We're just planning to get off the ship and check it out. But even those plans are shaky because Tony is still not feeling 100%.   We don't need to make a decision, because at 10 the Captain is on the PA system again informing us that the local pilot has informed him that it is too dangerous for this 1,087 x 217, 141,000 ton vessel to approach the dock.

So another quite day is on the books for us.  We do get out for a bit and play some trivia.  The first round is general trivia and we pair up with a couple.  Dang, some of those people take their trivia seriously!  Let's just say we didn't win.  We didn't even place!

The couple, two University of Kentucky administrators, decide they don't want to stick around for the  Diva's trivia, and Tony heads back to the cabin.  But out of curiosity, I just stick around.  the beginning of a diva song is played and contestants or teams put the singer down on paper.  I was hot!  I got 14 out of the 20 correct.  But then I realize that this is 2 point trivia and I was supposed to write the songs down too!  What the heck!  I would have won!  I knew at least all the songs for the artists I got correct, but I didn't write them down!  And the winner had 27!! BUMMER!  I really needed the Princess Cruise Line notebook!  Oh well, sometimes you win, sometimes you lose.

The rest of the afternoon is spent watching an on demand movie in our cabin.  Tony's got his appetite back so we head down to the dining room where we run into Linda & Gordy.  They join us for dinner.  It was a lovely ending to a quiet day.  The best part - Tony's on the mend!
