The Atlantic Hotel...

The Atlantic Hotel is a large hotel in downtown Pointe-Noire, about 45 minutes walk from the ship. It has an amazing swimming pool and the hotel has a special deal that allows Mercy Shippers to use the pool at a reduced rate. Last week a friend and I walked there to spend several hours relaxing by the pool. It was a great way to unwind after a couple of tiring night shifts at Reception!

 Relaxing by the lovely pool.

 It's about half-Olympic size.

 Back at the ship after a great day out!
