Luckily we were a day at sea yesterday because I succumbed to Tom’s cold and was good for nothing!!
I did manage to get myself down to breakfast and then we walked the upper decks for awhile. But, because of the sea day, nearly every chaise lounge was spoken for. So we returned to our stateroom where we spent a good part of the day, reading, catching up on world news (they have CNN and the BBC on our television) and talking to the girls in Nashville.
After a good long nap and some cold medicine I rallied for dinner. It was the ‘Captain’s Dinner’ and we didn’t want to miss seeing everyone tarted up! And they were fancy – – men in suits and ties, women in all manner of dress and jewelry and, then again, the occasional ‘casual’ attire slipped in.
We have been seated at the same table for two nights and have had the same waiter, Joselito, from the Philippines. He now knows our habits (we take sparkling water, we like ice, olive oil for our bread, etc.).
The dinner was festive and delicious and I’m glad I rose to the occasion. But my stamina was waning and we were back in the stateroom by 10:00. More cold medicine and I was back in bed.
We will arrive in Santorini at 7 a.m tomorrow. Fingers crossed for recovery 🤞🏼
¡Ciao America!
