So, Kristin and I got off the ship today and took a bus into Freeport. The bus driver was quite the showman. He told us stories, history of the area and plenty of jokes. I think he figured out that providing entertainment on a twenty-five minute bus ride will get you a lot more tips than doing nothing at all. No doubt!
The resort we went to was called Our Lucaya. It was stunning. The water was blue, the sand was white and as I looked around I felt like I was looking at images from postcards. Boy, let me tell you, the sun down there is intense. The actual day spent at the resort was sort of cool, but that sun is no joke. Spend more than a couple of hours out there when you aren’t used to it and you will get baked! Luckily for us, we didn’t get baked. We had a great time at the beach.
Tonight’s show went fantastically. You know, I am totally fascinated by how audiences react to certain magic pieces better than others. One of my strengths, by far (in my opinion), is performing slightly dramatic, usually a little artistic type of material. I have a routine with a rope that is about five solid minutes of magic that has been choreographed to a piece of music. When I first started performing it, I was freaked out because I wasn’t sure that audiences would be able to follow it for five minutes if I didn’t speak at all. I have found though, and my experiences on the ship back this up, that the rope routine is one of the stand-out favorites. I guess audiences really do like the slightly artistic type of magic that I personally love. That makes me very happy to know that my gut instinct is right!
Check out the photo below. It is a photo of a ghost ship that is docked at the Our Lucaya resort. Very cool!
