Guam is a very small island between Hawaii and the Phillipines. We arrived early and were given ship transfers to the shopping centre where we were dropped off at the DFS complex.

We soon discovered that it was not a shop for us so we walked across the road and headed towards the beach. What a lovely area, very clean and the sea was shades of clear blue and green water. There were lots of tourists here and it seemed like it was great holiday destination. The hotels here looked like all 5 star and had all the amenities that holidaymakers may want.

After exploring the town we were dropped off in, we decided to return to the Arcadia for a late afternoon tea. All in all a good day. A sail out gave us lovely views of the island as we moved forward out towards sea. Much fun was happening on the decks and then off for a swim before getting ready for another formal dinner evening.
