We got
plenty of sleep last night as we not only gained an hour since they set the clocks
back an hour, but we also slept in this morning. We did get up in time to get our breakfast
and get to the showroom in time to watch a presentation on our upcoming stop of
Greenland. After the port talk Val stayed
to hear a lecture on whales, but I decided to return to the room and read for a
while.
When she
returned we decided to head to the Lido for lunch. They were serving fish and chips today so we
opted for that. They were OK, but the
fish were a little mushy so it was a little disappointing. After lunch Val headed to trivia and I went
to the Culinary Arts Center where they were having a cooking competition. It was between teams of crew members and this
was the semifinals. Mervin, our Neptune
Lounge concierge, was one of the contestants so I wanted to show my
support. Unfortunately he lost, but it
was fun to watch.
Val and
I met up again and headed for the Ocean Bar where we were meeting LT and Cindy
who are going with us on a private tour that Val arranged for our second
upcoming day in Iceland. We had a nice
chat with them and then headed back to the room. We still had not looked at all of our
pictures so we spent the next hour viewing our pictures from the Isle of Man
and Belfast. Thank goodness we are
finally caught up. After that it was
back to the room to relax until it was time to get ready for dinner.
Before
dinner, we once again attended trivia in the MIX Lounge where our team did very
poorly. Ken and Mary Beth, the couple
who sit at the table next to us for dinner were going to the Canaletto (a specialty
restaurant) tonight so when we were getting seated at our table, Glen and
Richard at another nearby table invited us to join them. We had a very nice conversation with them and
ended up being the last one out of the dining room. After that it was off to the casino where we
lost quickly and were soon back in our room.
Tomorrow we will be in Akureyri, which is on the north end of
Iceland. We have to be up by 7:00 for
our tour at 8:00.
