• Settling into the routine

    Settling into life at sea. An 8am breakfast is quite manageable when we get on extra hour at night as we do for 5 out of the 7 days.

    This mornings talk was on Command at Sea. Included much talk of mutinies and collisions. Mmmm.

    We are eating in the posh restaurant every time. Food is a bit better, we tend to eat slower and portions are more sensible. In a buffet I am controlled by my greedy eyes and always overfill my plate.

    A 3D film on travelling into Space gave a good excuse for the odd glasses.
    More exploring round afterwards but some outside areas still closed because of the strong winds.

    Another hour’s power walking while Glyn attended the Captain’s drinks, naturally accepting my glass of bubbly as well as her own. After all, they were paid for. Sort of. As if she needed any excuse.

    Post dinner’s show was a short concert by Dana Monique, described as a Southern Soul Diva. Impressive voice and equally impressive backside. No photos are allowed during the shows so you just get the empty stage to set the scene.
    Followed by a folk duo, a quick snifter back in our cabin and then bed.

    Quite worn out.
