Next it was Insel Air's turn to take off. Just a suggestion, when a big airplane is taking off and the jet turbine is facing the beach you are on, RUN or sit at the bar and watch the people on the beach being blown into the water. Insel wasn't bad because it didn't kick up a lot of rocks and the power wasn't as strong as KLM. My DH held me during this one and it didn't feel like I was quite going to fall yet. We did however need to look away because of all the dust.
Turning the corner....
Getting ready...to pelt with rocks!!
Next plane!
After 20 minutes passed, it was KLM's turn to leave. Ugh, never again! Because the plane is so massive and the turbine is so strong, you will get knocked off your feet. Kevin was clinging onto the fence right behind it while I was down at the shoreline so I wouldn't get blasted as much. I dug my feet deep into the sand and held onto all our belongings facing the water. It was so strong that the waves were going backwards! It also hurt REALLY bad because of all the pebbles that were being kicked up and pelted against my legs. Don't make the same mistake that I did! We then took a couple minutes to recover and watch the last plane land in our allotted schedule. We had a few extra minutes so we went to the Dunes Casino right down the street. Don't go there! It's really shady and the payout sucks.
I'm ready for the KLM tortur!!
Kevin is super excited to be clinging to the fence for his life!
That's how big that sucker is!
Next in line:
We then asked our taxi driver to drop us back in the middle of downtown. We stopped at the Gauvaberry Rum store for some liquor and then went looking for a little more of a ligit casino. We found one at the end of Front Street that looked ok. Kevin went to the blackjack table while I lingered around the slots. He lost $30 and I won $57 on slots! Haha! I win. lol After that we went on a search for a pair of earrings for me. We ended up going to Effy Jewelry and I bought a very pretty pair of day-to-night drop tanzanite earrings! I love them so much! We then made our way back to the ship to get some lunch and allow me to go to the rainforest room for a while before Planes the movie!
My day-to-night earrings!
Same pair, let down!!
They made me soooo happy!!
My DH is ready to go back to the ship!
And finally...look what we found in our room! Our cabana information!!
