Not much to say today, so I’ll be brief.
Sunny again with some clouds in the afternoon. Windy.
Elaine did a 2½ mile walk on deck two – 10 laps. At one end of the ship she had to hang on to the rail because of the wind.
Usual breakfast – BACON!
Usual lunch.
We did some reading on the balcony. It’s 50º, but we are shielded from the wind and the sun shines brightly off the sea right onto our balcony. It’s quite pleasant out there.
Cocktail hour at the Living Room. The artwork shown is the piece closest to our stateroom. That’s Elaine in the elevator. (There are six – four near the stern and two towards the bow. There is rarely a wait for an elevator.) And Elaine with Igor.
Dinner in the Restaurant – the main dining room. I had seafood linguine. Elaine had duck. Both yummy. I had coconut surprise for dessert (not pictured – the spoon is quicker than the camera). The surprise was embedded raspberries.
Then cocktails in the Explorer’s Lounge. Elaine usually has an Amoretto on the rocks. My latest “good night” fad is an Aperol Spritz (pictured) – Aperol, soda water, and white wine or prosecco with a slice of orange. The artwork (photos from NYC) is near the entrance to the Lounge.
Beautiful ocean views and so nice to be out of the wind. Hang on tight on those walks, Elaine, and I love your outfit for cocktail hour.
Both dinners look delicious. Ooh an aperol spritz — I’ll have to try one of those. I love the constellations on the window borders in the Explorer’s Lounge.
