Oh I also enjoyed the fruit plate and croissant with butter and apricot jam!

A cup of coffee amped me up so fast, i din't recognize the 'me' that spoke minutes later:)

Nothing appealed to us on the program for today except early church which was too early:-/

Rainy windy 47degrees

(I suggest we rent a cabana to lie around on a bed by the pool and doze)

But not at $50.

So we proceeded to the Lido and settled comfortably at pool's edge, listening to the pool slosh noisily and rocking with the ship as we motor over the ocean (off the coast of Oregon i hear).

Hamish

I pushed my lunch plan after reading at the pool (wearing alternately a lap robe and shawl) for as long as possible. I asked Dan to bring us a kale Caesar and a pizza pie. He exceeded expectations returning with a mound of anchovies and shaved parmesan. I hailed a cocktail waiter for a glass of Black Opal Shiraz, in needed of warming. When we came together over the meal, we gave thanks and broke into it, fragrance of fresh basil (no incense).

The most fulfilling moment of the day arrived in the form of s challenge: finding the door marked WOMEN:)

I knew of the direction as I started across the area. Poor eyesight allowed me twice to linger searching for clues and then asking for assistance please.

Now deep fried fish. . .

After some time, we return to our room and change into swim wear. Then hot tubbing fun!  Back to shower and dress for dinner!

Midway aerial show. I have an act of my own. While moving up the steps i fall into the 'wall' which happens to be a black curtain. I sit and swing my legs up, carefully keeping them together. I land wrapped in the drape atop a flower box grinning. Small cut on my rlbow. The show must go on!
