Tuesday afternoon, terre, terre

We have docked.
Old San Juan looks magical in the distance.


As our cabin is midship, just above the main exit, we get to observe the preparations on the dock. The red carpet is unrolled, the ropes put into place, and... the towels piled. Let us not forget the ubiquitous distributor of disinfectant. The amount of Purel consumed on this ship must be pretty impressive - it's offered everywhere.

When all is set, we prepare to go down, but the line snakes in front of our cabin, so we just sit at our window and watch the entertaining disgorgement of people from the boat onto the Puerto Rican terra firma. One of the first people to come off, from a different exit, is.... Herbie Hancock!!!!
