Aruba

Next port was Aruba! A port made famous by it's white sand beaches, it's crystal clear waters and for being mentioned in the Beach Boys song "Kokomo", which also included John Stamos playing bongos in it's video. That's...a lot to live up to.

Here's what greets you when you step off the ship the city of Oranjestad. Weirdo design? Check. Pastel color scheme? Check. Combination Dunkin Donuts/Little Caesar's? Check and MATE. Big fans of Oranjestad here.

Take a look at this big summabitch. Iguanas are everywhere in Aruba. They're the squirrels of this place.

Here's the ship you cruise on when you can't afford Norwegian. Don't laugh. The buffet is fantastic.

We decided to take a cab tour of the island, after haggling with a cab driver who was, in my medical opinion, WAY high. Try explaining to a stoned cabbie in Aruba that you only want to to take an hour-long tour of the island that ends on a beach and not resort to physical violence to get your point across. It's fun until your eyeball starts to twitch.

The cast at the Casibari Rock Formation, a forced stop on our tour. Apparently our driver needed some Cool Ranch Doritos, and this happened to be next to the store he went into. It was nice anyway. You climbed at your own risk, though.

Now they tell us.

The cast, trapped in the Negative Zone.

One of the poolside bars near the beach we finally arrived at. This was a beach attached to a hotel, but by law in Aruba, all beaches are public, so you can go to any of them even if you don't stay at the hotel. Score.

The cast, free of the sentence imposed by Jor-El, having a drink at Piet's Bar. After this, Method Man picked us up and drove us back to the ship.

Now, remember how I said there were iguana's everywhere? Here's why.

Damn, iguanas. Y'all got no shame.
