I let the day start slowly with a bit of journaling/blogging and a few Sudoku puzzles. After that, I went to the Salle des sports, which, to be honest, took a bit of effort because my energy level is currently almost non-existent, but once I sat on the bike for a while, it was fine. Although I never would have thought that I could really last 45 minutes.
After that, my room was cleaned and I was able to sit by the freshly cleaned pool for a bit before lunch.

I woke up briefly at around 4:30 a.m. when we docked in Pointe-à-Pitre, but then went straight back to sleep. At breakfast, I chatted with the other passengers, but they were only going to Guadeloupe for the weekend and would be returning on Wednesday on the next ship.

I woke up in a pretty bad mood. An aftermath of the quite uncomfortable evening before, probably the worst evening since I started this trip. I’ll just mention the key words “restaurant”, “sitting and waiting for dinner for hours and hours” and “no one to talk to”.
But I was also looking forward to our last day in Martinique a little bit because I hoped to see a little more of the island, the beach, and the waterfalls.

When I got up, I was still reasonably motivated to actually go to the island that Pasquale and Gaél had raved about to me,
but first I met Gaél for the first time before breakfast
and he was completely exhausted (apparently, he had hardly
slept).
And then I realized that Christoph’s girlfriend was now sitting at “my” table with the cadets, and I was sitting there like a fifth wheel.
Maybe I’ll move to the crew mess completely in the future.
At least Pasquale and Gaél translate sometimes there,
or I can talk to Jerôme.
In any case, it’s much more pleasant there than with the cadets and officers (where you’re also always being watched closely by the captain or the chief).
Anyway, after breakfast, where no one (except Jean) talked to me
because they were too busy planning the day, I was completely demotivated and suddenly felt a hangover coming on.

Now I’m quickly writing this before I fall asleep… even though I’m supposed to go play darts in a minute… argh…such a stressful life 😉

The only thing that stood out to me when I woke up this morning
(unlike other days) was that it was incredibly quiet. At first, I thought we might have stopped on the open sea. But obviously the suspicious silence was only because I had turned off the air conditioning last night…
Well, that’s how you can get your thoughts going early in the morning 😉

Yeah, Yeah, Yeah!
After my blues day yesterday, today’s going just great 🙂

I woke up with a headache and in a bad mood again.
The boys at the breakfast table are still only talking to each other and in French. Today, everyone is getting on my nerves.
Luckily, I haven’t seen Jean yet, he would definitely have noticed something… The pool should be filled by noon and we’re having crêpes for lunch. Still, I’m in a bad mood. Why did I have to get on a French ship of all places?
