Oranjestad, Aruba

Pat and Tom, Patty, and I met at 10 to walk around and do some last minute shopping.  There were some nice shops in the terminal and some new stalls with souvenirs.  We walked for down the street by the water and did some window shopping of high-end jewelry and some shopping for less prices items.

We were back on the ship by 12:30 and had lunch in the Lido and then did some knitting.

We only had 10 out of 19 at afternoon trivia.  Two teams tied for the win with 14.

1) Who was the author who created Hannibal Lechter?

2) Which jazz trumpeter was nicknamed “The Prince of Darkness”?

3) The first Miss World beauty pageant winner was from which country?

4) What instrument did Marilyn Monroe play in “Some Like It Hot”?

5) How many inches in diameter is an official NHL puck and how much does it weigh?

Our last sail-away was just after trivia and I watched from my deck as Aruba disappeared as we moved away. We tied with one other team with 14 out of 18 in evening trivia.

1) What is the color of mourning in Japan?

2) Which is not nocturnal – bat, mole, or guinea pig?

3) In Disney’s “Beauty and the Beast”, what was the name of the candlestick character?

4) Whose funeral in 2005 was attended by 5 kings, 4 queens, and 70 Presidents and Prime Ministers?

5) What is the only planet not named for a Greek or Roman god?

Pat and Tom, Ann and Pat, Patty, Sherita, and I ate in the Canaletto.  There was a lot of food and we shared.

The show tonight was Jim Curry with a tribute show of John Denver songs.  He was good.
