With the sun breaking out in the later afternoon, photographic opportunities returned to Avalon. The bright colors opened up, and examples of Avalon tile adorning various buildings truly came into their own.
Pictured below you will see lines of golf cart “autoettes” awaiting their owners. Boldly painted buildings made the landscape pop in color.
And all this occurred just before it was time to tender back onto the Sapphire Princess.
Timing is everything.
