So over the last couple of days we've had lie ins, spent time on deck catching a bit of sun and watched Royal Terns conduct aerial acrobats as they dive for the flying fish scared out of the water by the ship. And we've sat in on a couple of lectures.
At least on the 2nd day we were expecting them. This time there were 50 but we got them settled quickly. Peter had them painting a Havana scene, which they seemed to enjoy........ Let's see how many come back for the next session eh?
It was formal night on Friday, so we duly dressed up, I even made Peter wear his penguin suit. But then, after dinner, we didn't really want to hang around in the lounges until the show, so we went downstairs to the cabin to watch an episode of Star Trek on Peter's laptop. Needless to say, we ended up watching a couple of episodes, and didn't surface from the cabin again until the next morning. So we've had a couple of really chilled out days - except for Peter's classes. They have been what can only be described as Bedlam.
The Explorer Room where the classes are held is an off shoot of the Discovery Restaurant, which is only used for dinner. It's a good sized room with plenty of light and, easily holds 60+ when used as a restaurant. We were expecting around 20-30 people and I set the room up to accommodate that number.
At about 1.30, the first passenger arrived to bag a seat, and then disappeared. Nobody else showed up for some time, and we thought we may up with a small class.
Then eventually, they started come in. First a few, then a few more, then a constant stream. They just kept coming. Peter and I were searching around the room to see where there were spaces left as, at last the final few drifted in. There were 47 people taking part, and a few watching on that first day. Getting them started took a while, but eventually, they were off. Phew!
At least on the 2nd day we were expecting them. This time there were 50 but we got them settled quickly. Peter had them painting a Havana scene, which they seemed to enjoy........ Let's see how many come back for the next session eh?
Tomorrow we visit our second Cuban port - Santiago de Cuba. Peter and I are on tour - the same one this time - we are going to visit a big rock. Should be fun.
