Today is the second sea day and boy do we need a rest after all the walking we did in Dubrovnik yesterday. The weather is still sunny with no or very little wind and we are heading to Heraklion the capital of the island of Crete. We have decided that we won’t do a tour here I have some work I need to catch up on so we will just find a cafe somewhere with free wifi.
We did some dancing lessons today, the foxtrot and the quick step. I must say I’m enjoying it which suppresses me. The instructor was very good and the ship has a magnificent ballroom complete with chandeliers. Cunard has, I don’t know what you would call them but they look for single women and ask them to dance because as you would be aware the number of women outnumber the men in a dance class. Got some photos of them dancing with Jen and Maureen that I will post when I get the chance.
Last night we had our anniversary dinner at the Veranda restaurant which is the fancy one the ship. We had a 5 course meal, it was magnificent. What a way to celebrate our 14 wedding anniversary.
It’s our second formal evening tonight, again I am surprised, it wasn’t anywhere as bad as I thought it would be. Initially I wasn’t looking forward to the formal evenings but it sort of seems fitting for the opulent surroundings of the dinning room.
The Flyrights
Went to see a show after dinner it was three singers called “The Flyrights”. They did Motown, Soul and Swing songs and were fantastic. Gav bought Rebecca their CD after the show. It was a late evening for us, crawled into bed at midnight.
I see those 5 course meals are having an effect on your clothing Lee – noticeably your white tuxedo shirt…! Great to hear you guys are loving every minute. Updates are great!
You are absolutely right Dan, I thought that with all the walking it would burn all the fat off, but its not working!
Hi again from us down under . So excited you are having a great time and have had a wonderful anniversary congratulations !! Keep up with the foxtrot and quick step it’s good for the waistline lol. Looking forward to the next update Brian & Nicki xx
