It was freezing so cold that we both had coats and hats on and we got the theater and it was raining. It was an amazing place and Ian went up in the audience bit and I was messing around in the arena asking him could he ...

One can waterski, sail, kayak or just swim. <br><br>We said our goodbyes and went back to the ship. Cocktails at 7, followed by dinner and dancing. Another great day!<br>
