At Sea Saturday 23 August

This morning it’s very overcast and raining, with a storm now and then. The cloud lifts occasionally but it’s grey with a low swell, so we’re rocking a little, travelling quite fast.

The Mariners’ brunch was on at 11.00 and I shared this with a lovely American couple, followed by three circuits of promenade deck. It’s now bright and partly sunny but the wind is very strong and cool, so you have to rug up out there. They had the On Deck for a Cause walk this morning but there are points on the deck where the walkway is very narrow and, with a big bunch of people walking, I didn’t fancy having to queue up for a stop-start walk. It’s no longer just for breast cancer: several cancer charities are involved, so I decided not to join in this time.

They interviewed the Captain and Hotel Manager – some interesting questions and information. Formal dinner tonight. Everyone at my table is going to Berlin on the 13 hour excursion; 3 hours each way by train, then free time or guided tours. Very expensive and too long – I want some more relaxing time before the cruise finishes.
