Day at Sea

Well our dinner last night was spectacular, it really was an honour to be invited. Apparently we are quite infamous onboard. We were with another Aussie couple from Melbourne and a South African couple who now live in Canada. The Percer, Jason is a Canadian who lives in Perth and the entertainment hostess, Amanda lives in California. She has a very interesting job, she was employed to sing and also host special dinners with the captain and percer etc. Another part of her duties is to comfort the widow and help them pack up when their spouse/partner pass away on board. Apparently it happens quite a lot and they even have a morgue on board. She said the average age of guests is 72 years old. We had a great night and we didn’t have to pay for our booze. Sweet.

Steve and I partied on with Jim and Cath, California Steve and Jan did a wine club tour yesterday so they were worn out so we had a drink before dinner and met them for brunch this morning. Two big nights have caught up with me so I’m again relaxing by the pool, we are at sea today so it’s a bit windy and slightly cooler but the sun is shining.

I plan on having a good night tonight as we have reservations at Toscana’s (alacarte restaurant) but I plan on giving my liver a rest. We have a tour in Athens tomorrow which I’m really looking forward to so I don’t want to be hungover.
