Labadee, Haiti
Last port of call was pretend Haiti. It is a part of the island operated by Royal Carribean and kept nice by them. It is like paradise. RC pays the Haitian government something like $6. per person. There were over 3000 on our ship alone. I wonder where all that money goes? Anyway…we wanted to stay there because it was so relaxing. We had a barbeque on land and the water was clear, warm and gentle.
There was a police presence on the island.
Many Hatians are employed in Labadee. Some are craftsmen. This man was working in metal.
This one was painting.
There were loads of beautiful paintings and other crafts to bargain for.
Some of the workers arrive in colorful little boats like these.
Here is our boat…looks far away….
Relax in a hammock or a beach chair.
I had my own palm tree
Look at that clear water!
Too soon it was time to return the the ship for a two day voyage home.
