It wasn't held in the Slave House which is a couple of hundred metres away or in any other slave place. Thanks very much for the clarification. This makes sense. In fact, I do recall another large old building close to the Slave House. However, I did not visit it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Silver Spectre Posted May 5, 2019 Author #128 Share Posted May 5, 2019 Running quite close to the coast of Western Sahara this afternoon. Trivia continues to be very well supported but challenging, have been second for a number of days. Cinco de Mayo lunch on the grill (but using German sausages) and a Cinco de Mayo meal in La Terrazza tonight. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Do you know if SS has added any new Mexican beers on board? For example, Corona Premier has been available in the market for over a year now (it’s a Michelob Ultra killer) and Modelo Especial has been the hottest Mexican brew for over 5-years now and neither one were available in February when we were on the Shadow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
