The wind has finally calmed down
to a force 5, and the sea is classed as "moderate" which means it
still rocks you, but nothing falls off the tables....... most of the time.
Our days have started by getting up late - because we can and also because the room is so dark we have no idea whether or not it's night or morning.
On the Saturday morning, we had breakfast and pottered around working on forms and stuff for Peter's classes. We've been having difficulty getting into the dining room at 12.30, and in the end we had no choice but to set the craft room up first and then dive into the Bistro for the quickest lunch ever, just 5 mins.
In the afternoon, Peter ran his classes while I sat outside, chatting, typing the blogs up, playing cards etc. In the evening we had our meal in the Bistro as usual and then went to the lounge to watch Mel Harvey, the magician. He was actually very entertaining and we really enjoyed his show.
Sunday was almost a repeat of Saturday, with one vital difference.......... We'd missed breakfast, and after a potter on the rear deck we went to the Bistro early, about 12.15, keen to make sure we got a place for lunch. We waited till 12.30 and couldn't understand why the buffet wasn't open yet? And even more puzzling, none of the passengers seemed concerned. At 12.45 were still waiting, so I decided to go check with reception. It was then we discovered that we'd not put the clocks back as per instructions in the daily blurb. Doh! I blame Peter of course, he's in charge of those things. Starving as we were, we had to wait another 45 minutes for food.
The classes went well Sunday afternoon, and in the evening we had dinner and we watched the show. Sea days are falling into a bit of a pattern.
Tomorrow we arrive in Tenerife for a long day. I am really looking forward to it.
