Lazy Day At Sea

What a breakfast!


It is a day at sea so SWMBO and I indulged ourselves and had breakfast in bed.


Tea, coffee, orange juice, 4 kinds of cheese, 2 kinds of salami, ham, dried fruit, a selection of fresh fruit, yoghurt, a basket of rolls, pastries and muffins ..... and champagne!


The downside to the morning was the Captain having to announce that there are some cases of nova virus on board so stricter hygene regiemes should be implemented. The staff are being even more diligent in the cleaning of everything but it a shame that the ignorance of many of the passengers is coming to the fore again. There are hand sanitising gel dispensers at the entrance to everywhere you can get food along with big signs about using them (they have always been there) but it is horrifying how many choose to ignore them – and then complain that the ‘self service’ aspect has been stopped and staff will serve what you ask for .......... it’s because you can’t be trusted to keep your dirty germs to yourselves!!!!!!!!! It might also cut down on your food intake because you are less likely to ask for a plateful that is overflowing and for selection of all 5 deserts that you normally take. No wonder the average weight increase is 2lbs a day.


It has been a day of doing nothing .... too hot to sunbathe – just watching the flying fish, the birds diving for food and the clouds drift by on the balcony (shaded for most of the day).

Oh, and watching the glorious sunset with a drink.
