Well, he was still asleep at 8. I woke about 7:30. I let him sleep and then woke him because we needed to get up. We showered and dressed and headed to the Windjammer. It was almost 9 by the time we got there. This morning I had a bowl of baked beans, butter bread and a couple of pieces of bacon and hot chocolate. After consuming my breakfast I headed out for my walk. It was cool and not as windy as it had been but very bumpy. I have staggered all day. One of these days maybe we will have some calmer seas.
The Captain said this morning that we are due to get to Gibraltar on the 8th day about 9:30 pm. And pass the rock about 2 hours later. He also said that as we cruise that day it is a good day to see whales. So we should be on the look out.
I worked on my crocheting and listened to my book until about 11:30. He came up a short while after and we had lunch at the taco place just outside the windjammer. They have tacos, all kinds of meat, burritos, and quesadias. There were all kinds of toppings and beans or rice plus chips and cheese dip. We had some chips and cheese dip and a taco each. Then, an ice cream cone for dessert.
After that I went to the 270 to watch some of the new James Bond movie, well actually the last one. He went to the room to get ready for his talk.
Afterwards we came to the room to nap and dress for supper, formal night again.
Supper was okay. I had a cheese plate, a salad, turkey with all the trimmings, and cheesecake. Turkey was nothing extra.
Then, he wanted to go to the magicians show at 7:45. I did not. So I went to the 270 to wait for the start of the virtual symphony concert at 8:45. I saved him a seat so when he finished he could join me. I asked how the magician was and he said he fell asleep three times. The concert was excellent. They played music from West Side Story, Star Wars, Jurassic Park , Indiana Jones, Apollo 13 and more. It is all done digitally. They have the video and they project on the wall of windows at the back of the 270 that is 3 stories high. They had covered the windows.
We are now in our room. No time change tonight. Usual stuff tomorrow. I walked almost 3 miles today. I am trying to do lots of steps. I really want to do 4 miles at least every day. I will need to work harder.
Nothing silly or unusual today but I saw a lot of ladies laying out in the sun that really shouldn’t wear a two piece bathing suit! It has been a smooth cruise so far. No big headaches. Our cabin steward is very nice and our waiters are very good. In the windjammer in the morning they have waiters who push trolleys that have coffee and juices. The one guy makes the sound of a bozo the clown horn as he goes around. He is really funny. Nothing is very crowded. Really nice.
We were going to ride the sea plex which is a large open ball that they lift you up in and swing you about 300 feet up in the air and out over the ocean. Our reservation was for 4:20 but all reservations were cancelled because the Captain said it was to windy. So we have another time in 2 days. We have done it before on the Anthem of the seas and it is a lot of fun.
Well, my time is up. Love you all. Mom, Granny and Bonnie
