Cruise day 6

We had to get up early, miss exercise, eat and be ready to leave for Falkland Islands at 8:45. We were tendered to shore in a lifeboat. It was 54 degrees but beautiful and sunny. We had a tour of Stanley on a bus. A native woman and her son were in charge. She talked about how things have changed over 40 years while her son drove the bus. They used to cut their own meat in the house but not now. There were other changes too. The houses have various colored roofs on ole houses, on narrow streets. They have been recently paved but are still rough. The inhabitants have Brigtish backgrounds and sided with the British in the 1982 war with Argentina.. They even acted as spies, revealing Argintine positions. They helped the British to invade the island where the Argintines were not expecting. They wanted to remain British in language and background. We drove through mine fields near where the invasion was expected. They came over the mountains instead and surprised them. We were returned to the dock and walked around some of the town until about 1:30. We were tendered back ad immediately went for lunch. We shared a salad and a calzone and pizza. We then took a nap until time for afternoon wine. After that we went to the show by our dance teachers, Andre and Francine. They were good and used videos that showed their dance from the past. They showed clips of Rogers and Astair, Marge and Gower Champion and even Carlos Gardel. They danced some if the same routines, There was a wild Latin Carnaval starting at 10:30our dinner. It was quite wild and many of the sailor staff and even the assistant captains danced. We danced some too and retired at 12:30.
