At sea 🌊 - day 1 🚢

Our first full day at sea proper today...and we spent it relaxing! I started a new book - What Lies Beyond the Veil - and read about half of it by the end of the day. I also finished two more kings on my cross-stitch! Ben went to a talk by a former Beefeater about the Tower of London (passing, he says, a rather dicey looking line-dancing class on the way back...which we did not attend!). We had a lovely lunch of a sharing platter of jerk pulled pork, spending the afternoon reading on the balcony with a glass of cider. Both of us were rather red-faced, having burnt our foreheads yesterday in all the time spent on the balcony.

The evening was the first of four black tie nights. So we enjoyed a glass of wine in the Crow's nest bar before heading to the Meridian for dinner.Read more
