Day 10

Going to bed early wasn’t such a bad idea, since Ted and I both had a better sleep than usual. For a change, I thought I would try the dining room for breakfast instead of the chaos of the buffet restaurant, whilst Ted still preferred the latter. Whilst I enjoyed the quieter atmosphere and the portions of food, the service was really quite slow and lacking, with incorrect and forgotten orders. I did give it some allowance though as I’ve since heard that a lot of the waitstaff have fallen ill.

Ted and I were keen for a quieter day so we spent most of the morning relaxing in the solarium, and fortunately we arrived early enough to avoid the insane grab for a deck chair. The day didn’t remain quiet for long though as several friends arrived to join us.

Morning trivia was on but since I didn’t want to relinquish my deck chair, I messaged some of the answers to Wee who was there. In the afternoon, we went to “Guess that Tune 80’s” with Mike, Wee, Suzanne, Blaine and Charlie, and came first with an amazing 20/20! We then stayed for a regular trivia game where we only scored 12. By the time we played the third game, with an announcer who could barely pronounce English, our score had plummeted to 6!

After dinner we relaxed in our room before I joined Blaine, Suzanne and Charlie at the Windjammer restaurant for a tea before bed. Tomorrow we arrive in Ålesund, which is the first of four days in a row of sightseeing.Leggi altro
