Rise up and notice the sun is again not on my balcony. It seems to be in a weird spot. Not that I can’t get sun at home! I see so many in bathing suits but it could be their only time they see sun!

We were going to go to the dining room, but the line was huge! It’s 10am! We go to deck 12 for the buffet. I decided to control myself and had muesli and fruit! So proud😁.

We decided to go to the cooking contest 6 guests pair with 6 officers and have 15 minutes to make the basket. It was quite funny. A young girl was picked as a judge, like 10 yrs old! The cruise director was the MC. The hour went fast. Then we walked around and decided to get soup. We loose an hour from 12pm it goes to 1pm. So by the time we get to soup it’s 2:30pm.

So soup turned into seafood stew, lots of mussels, and pork schnitzel so yummo! Then two young folks sat next to us from Switzerland. They were so cute, turns out the female was a surgical nurse and he was a PHD in physics!

Well by the time we were done, it was time to go back to our room. We hung out for a while, but then we each took showers and had wine before dinner. We had to go to the art department because we bid on art. But, there was an issue with the card so we didn’t get anything.

We ate dinner, I started with escargot, sounds so snooty! It was good but it was soaked in butter so I couldn’t finish it. Then I had French onion soup with the bread and cheese. I must be getting old, because I couldn’t finish all the cheese and bread! Normally it’s a no brainer! Then I had bass spinach and mashed potatoes. I finished half. Dessert was creme brûlée, that was yummo with a nice crusty top! We sat next to one couple who spoke about how their family told them to cancel the cruise. The other side were Scottish and worked in the military and was quite interesting.

Then we went to our room got jackets to see the diving show that was canceled earlier in the cruise. It was fantastic and the divers were incredible and their bodies were so well built 6 packs and muscle shoulders wow! But, it was like a cirque du sole. There were women dancing, a trampoline and divers all at the same time. It was very enjoyable in spite of the fact it was outside, windy and chilly.

The days seem to slip by even though we are on the ocean and think there is nothing to do. Amazing how at the end of the day you fall into bed and you sleep. When we were younger we’d be up drinking and dancing! Age is creeping up on me! But, I’m still having fun!
