boat
our boat was appropriately named evolution. it looked kinda like a pirate ship. arg. there were only 16 cabins. ours was far forward at the bow. we traveled at night. sleeping under way took some getting used to. if you tried to sleep on your side the boat rocked enough to knock you over. they served us three large meals every day. fancy deserts were served after lunch and dinner. they were usually something excessively sweet. nearly inedibly so in my opinion. my biggest complaint was that there wasn't enough chocolate. which is odd. because cocoa comes from that part of the world. the chef had fun creating artful centerpieces. one day we had an eggplant penguin. another we had a cantaloupe swan. we had fresh frothy juice after every excursion. the most interesting was tree tomato. i think the crew bet to see what they could get the tourists to eat. one day they served popcorn for lunch. they told us everyone puts it in the raw fish cold soup. yeah, right.
