Salaverry is a port town located 8.7 miles southeast of Trujillo city. The port, rebuilt in the 1960s by an English company, is able to accommodate large cruise ships. The town has a population of about 13,900.

| On the Pier |
At about 3:00 AM, we hear very loud noises, like
our ship had run into something. Jesse
assumed that they were positioning the off ramp below us; however, we found out
later that the off ramp was positioned on the opposite side of the ship. Since there is nothing of note for tourists
at Salaverry, after breakfast, we walked a little way down the pier and joined
several other passengers awaiting the complimentary shuttle. As we stood for about a half hour, we learned
the names of a couple that remembered us from last year’s cruise, Sandy &
Cyril from upper state New York. Cyril is
named after his grandfather, who was from Jamaica. When we finally boarded the complimentary
shuttle for a 45 minute ride to Trujillo, we climbed to the upper deck of the
bus where we could take photos from the window. Not bothering to get off
the bus, we were back on the ship in time for lunch.
In the late afternoon we went swimming again,
just as the ship left dock. The air was
very cool and, again, the water was very rough.
After 15 minutes, Sally got out of the pool to sit in the hot tub. Jesse continued swimming until Sally started
to look worried, about another 10 minutes.
(Swimming looked very dangerous.)
Before dinner, we danced in the Horizons and, again, the band jazzed up
the music quite a bit again, which resulted in poor dance music. In our stateroom,
we later watched the New Hampshire primary on TV.
