Saturday 16th August

I thought I was really good getting up at 7.00, up in the Lido by about 7.30 for breakfast.
Then downstairs afterwards, cleaned my teeth, read for a while and got ready for the 9.00am presentation and raffle: didn’t win anything. On the way back to the room the ship’s clocks said 10.40 – how could that be? Then I remembered I hadn’t set my watch forward for the new time zone, so I’ve actually lost an hour today! Oh well, that means I got a longer sleep than I thought last night.
A formal dinner tonight – it’s always fun to get dressed up ... but not as much fun as when I had someone to dress up for. I got the best news back in my room – there’s a non-denominational service at 4.00pm tomorrow, Sunday. Not sure whether there will be any weekday ones but at least we get to meet some of the Christians on board.

Walked promenade deck, probably about 2.5km; it was very windy and I was in my formal dress with sandals, not good walking material! It was a good photo time though; the light is always special on the ocean at evening.


Off to bed 10.00; I’ll have breakfast delivered in the room tomorrow prior to the excursion because the Lido will be very busy; everyone will be going out after having been confined on board for more than 36 hours!
