Three Days at Sea, and Almost No Sleep

Wednesday August 3, 2016

Today we go to the bout for three nights! I wish that it could be longer. We are staying on the boat that has the name of Loran. The bout that we were staying in was a sailboat so when he put up the sails it was really cool. Our Captain was actually the owner of Loran. As soon as we were on the boat and settled in pretty much we took of sailing (well it wasn’t really sailing since we were using the motor.) We were going for a while and then we stopped and ate lunch at what we considered to be a cheap pizzeria, right on the sea. It was so funny because Macy found on the menu a two pizza that had different names but are the same exact pizza!!! Funny right? I ended up getting the margarita pizza and I split it with Mom. After everyone ate their share of the food we all went back to the boat and rode on. We came to this private island that was owned by this Russian V.I.P so we couldn’t go on the island itself but we swam in the same area just off the island. I went in along with my mother and father and Steve came in for just a little bit before he started to hurt (due to a rash that wasn’t reacting well with teh salty water). We went swimming for around an hour then we continued on. We eventually got to the place that we were going to stay the night: the port at the town of Amalfi. Julio, the owner and a YouTube star for his boat-driving exploits,  piloted our bout into a really tight space. We eventually rallied and went out to go find some dinner. We went to a lot of restaurants and finally made up our mind on a place that had takeout. I ordered  pasta bolognese. It was really good. We played Yahtzee and it was really fun!!! Mom, Steve and I went and got gelato for everyone. I got the flavors Snickers and kinder. Goodnight.

Last night and the night before I literally got almost no sleep. There is no air conditioning and it was hot as mahuha. So the first night I couldn’t sleep with Macy in the bed because it was just too freaking hot so I slept on the rock couch. I maybe got two hours of sleep. Last night I had to sleep with Macy in the bed and it was still hot but at least I slept a little better than the night before. Today we went to Positano, and it was not fun. We cooked in the sun while we waited for the water taxi to come. Mom and I eventually gave up and waited under this big umbrella thing and it gave us some shade until the water taxi finally came and picked us up. We basically did the same thing as the days before except that we did not swim in the ocean. I think that Dad may have picked the right amount of days on the boat because I would have gone and got myself a hotel room if I had to sleep on that boat one more time. Dad surprised us by figuring out how to setup the Chromecast that he bought and put on the movie ZOOTOPIA as spaghetti and movie night because we had spaghetti for dinner and not pizza. That was fun. ッ

Do you see how people’s opinion on things can change so much? I still liked our time on the boat, but maybe not as much as I thought before we got on it. Good thing it was only three nights!
