Just to let you know that today started well, and then ended
up with the ship feeling like a bucking bronco. OK - maybe it wasn't
quite that bad, but............
As I said, it started well.
Well enough for passengers to explore the back deck and enjoy a bit of
sun. Peter's classes went well and I
spent my time reading. But as the day
progressed, a swell built up that that just got
worse. The sky grew dark, drizzly rain washed the decks and everybody
huddled inside.
I was feeling quite proud of myself because I wasn't feeling
ill despite the rise and fall, but I wasn't hungry at dinner and the up and
down got steadily worse. We were still looking forward to the evening's
pantomime, Cinderella.... we'd been
promised a new twist.
We sit at the very back of the show lounge which is at the
front of the ship. (So we are the closest of all to the front end.) The ship
was pitching up and down like a see-saw as the swell lifted us higher and
higher, each time just dropping us several metre. My stomach tried several times to leap out of
my mouth.
The pantomime was very funny, as much because of the mistakes
as the script and it kept me distracted while the ship heaved, but as it ended,
I couldn't wait to get downstairs. As
usual - straight for my bed, to stay there until morning.
So that was our sea day. Tomorrow afternoon we reach Arrecife, Lanzarote. Peter and I are on tour to the Fire Mountains. Cool
