Today was my designated recovery day. I was still quite under the weather so I used
the sea day as an excuse to do nothing.
Jessie and Oma were more than happy to comply and we took books and read
in various spots throughout the ship.
During the afternoon, there was a Royal Tea onboard. We went and were impressed by the immaculate
display of goodies prepared for the event.
I took a plateful with the hope that I would be able to taste them, but
unfortunately I couldn’t, so my plate was given to Jessie.
At the tea, we met some lovely people from Vancouver and got
to know them. Hildy was a bit more
talkative here, but still allowed Jessie and I to carry most of the
conversation. I didn’t’ mind though;
since I couldn’t enjoy my food, at least I could enjoy some conversation.
Following the tea, we made our way to the Lido deck for an
Ice Sculpting Demonstration. It was
quite impressive to watch as the sculptor created a beautiful eagle out of a
block of ice. We learned that there are
various types of ice blocks and an average size costs about $80 USD just for
the ice.
Later in the day, I still wasn’t feeling that well, so we
decided to go to the Lido for dinner, rather than the dining room. This is much more informal and for someone
with a constant runny nose, it isn’t quite as problematic.
Afterwards, we headed to the grand stage where there was
champagne and a captain’s toast commemorating the second part of the
cruise. The show for the evening was
themed Romantic Hits, and was put on by the singers and dancers. It was very well done and even Hildy was grooving
along.
