We begin
this cruise with a stop at the Cay and the other one ended with a stop at the
Cay so we are to be here with only one day in between. I don’t mind because it
is such a beautiful place. I got too much sun here the other day so I wore a
tee shirt over my suit when in the
water. Last time I was comfortable and cool and
didn’t notice I was getting burned.
Anyway
things continue to go well. Last night we met Fred and Mary. They are to be at
our table for this cruise. They are friends of Howard and Janeen , are from
Chicago, are retired and are a riot. I am certain we will be spending this
cruise laughing most of the time
Ken just
said that this is Saturday, I had no idea what day it was. If it were not for
my pill case I would never know.
We had room service for my favorite breakfast.
I fill in the order form in the evening and state what time we want it
delivered. I use the phone to give a wakeup call so we don’t sleep past the
door knock. I always order the same thing. Juice for Ken, coffee for us both, 2
regular milk and 1 skim milk ( I mix it for my cereal because they don’t have
one percent), one little box of
Shreddies for me and 2 boxes of Corn Flakes for Ken and 2 Danish, one
for each of us. But what makes it special is the fruit. I write in Berries-2,
and it has been provided every time. This morning it was 2 bowls of fresh
raspberries and blueberries mixed. Sometimes they also include sliced
strawberries. The fruit was so fresh this morning that it was just as good as
Abbotsford berries. They were soooooooooo good.
The TV
coverage on board is dismal. We will get absolutely no news of the Olympics.
They have NO Canadian channels and the US channel is FOX, which is always
trash. Ken is suffering from Hockey withdrawal.
The warm
temperatures in this part of the world
causes my hands to swell and It is a good thing that we are not in a crime
ridden part of the world. I could not get my blue diamonds off if I tried. They
would have to cut my finger off, my ring finger is so swollen.
We took the
tender without incident this time, no one was angry about our being put in line
in front of them.
It was a
wonderful morning. We were enjoying the water and someone spoke to us. It was
Alice Schmidt. We met her on the South American cruise. We stood around in the
water and caught up on the news of the past couple of years.
Then Ken
and I had our lunch and caught the noon tender back to the ship. We showered,
rinsed the salt out of our suits and put towels etc out on the balcony to dry.
We had a short rest .
At four I
went to a Art history lecture. I think I will go to all of the art education
sessions for this cruise. I have never taken an art history course and this
will be my chance to learn a little.
They had a
raffle at the end of the lecture and I was a winner. I do not know what I have
won. I do know I will have a choice of 7 different items and it will cost
200.00 to have it framed. We will see what we decide .
Then we
dressed for dinner and met Howard and Janeen and Fred and Mary in the Michael
Angelo dining room. We told the group the story of our romance. They all think
it should be published. They would really think so if we had included all of
the details.
Alice stopped at our table and we have asked
if she can join us at our table for the rest of the cruise. Pimolpan our waitress is going to see what
she can do. It will be fun to have Alice join us.
After
dinner we went to the English Pub Night show in Explores longue . It starred
the singers and dancers and involver audience participation. It was a lot of
fun.
To end our
evening we went for a special coffee and brandy.
Another
amazing day!
