We keep putting the clocks forwards as we make our way east towards the Azores and eventually, the UK. Now we are only an hour behind British time. This means that although we were dead lazy and got up at 10 this morning, if it had been 5 days ago, it would have been 7am.

Anyway, we woke up, and there was a distinct difference in the sea. Not smooth, but definitely less rise and fall. Everyone is feeling much better about it, and the sun even came out, so a lot more people were out on deck. We still have the front of the ship and one deck closed off due to high winds, and the pools are still empty, because they just rock with the ship, create massive waves and flood the decks. There is no way you can swim in them.
Today we watched the Can’t Cook Won’t Cook show which involved one of the chef’s and the two comedians. I have seen this before on the Braemar, and it is fun to watch. We followed this with a coffee and a chat in the Iceni lounge, lunch, dozing in the iceni lounge and then Peter’s class. Numbers have been down, but we had 42 today, and as usual they seem to enjoy themselves. Then a cup of tea out on deck before the sun went in before coming to the cabin to chill. We will probably not watch the show tonight, I feel a couple of episodes of X-Files coming on.

Tomorrow we are in Ponta, on the island of Delgada, which is one of the islands in the Azores. We have a tour booked which should be fun. We were supposed to get there about 11.30, to go ashore about 12.30 and leave at 5pm. Apparently there port staff want to go on strike, so now we have to get there earlier and leave earlier. I think it works in our favour, and we get an hour or so in town after our tour. We’ll see.

Tobago has many more attractions related to nature and wildlife. The water falls on the island is one of the most highlighted attractions in the island. The island has a huge number of water falls that are exceedingly beautiful.
