Today as we woke up early, we saw the Volcano of Stromboli as
we sailed along the coastline. It houses
a population of 600 people and is still an active volcano. It blew off steam just before we passed it,
so we got to see the immense smoke coming out of the opening. This was a very interesting way to begin the
day.
Following the volcano, we went to the dining room for a
seated breakfast. Hildy finally had the
Eggs Benedict she had been longing for, but found that the portion sizes were
too large.
We decided to see a movie after breakfast and Life of Pi was
showing in the theater on-board. Apart
from being a bit cold, the movie was great and Hildy really enjoyed the
storyline. Afterwards, we had lunch and
went to a port talk on Greece and Turkey.
Jessie was suffering from a headache, so she went back to
the cabin for a nap while Hildy and I walked laps around the promenade. It was a bit cold, however when we started
walking at a brisk pace, it was quite enjoyable.
Tonight was formal night and we decided to get dressed
up. Oma K wasn’t too sure about this and
claims that she hasn’t worn a dress “since Amy’s wedding”. After a bit of coaxing, she wore a beautiful
black dress with pearl accents. I did
her makeup and she looked fantastic! We
all went for dinner in the large dining room and thoroughly enjoyed a decadent
meal.
After dinner we went to see the on-board show ‘It Takes 2”—a
tribute to duets throughout the 50s-70s. We all enjoyed the show and were able
to sing along to many of the songs.
The evening ended as we enjoyed the music of a violinist and
piano player in the Explorer’s Lounge. This
was a great way to finish off the day on a high note.
