Slept until after 8. Woke up and got on our wifi until Mark woke up. Got dressed and walked up two flights of stairs to Deck 14, Lido, for breakfast. We had been climbing a lot of stairs, plus walking more for exercise. After a light breakfast, we came back to the cabin. Mark updated the Garmin at the front of our deck. Watched a little bit of the news channel and then headed down to Deck 7 to walk. It was cold outside. I did wear a sweater and Mark added a long sleeved shirt. It was overcast so we didn't even take our sunglasses. Had a good long walk. Then headed up to the gym, which is on Deck 12 at the aft of the ship. I stayed longer than Mark. Met up at the cabin. Could see lots of different freighters and car carriers on the water today. Also, passed by a Celebrity ship. Very overcast with rain at one point. It seemed colder after the rain. Our tv showed 64 degrees. We headed back to Deck 14, Lido, for a late lunch. Too cold to play water volleyball. Mark said he still has a bit of a scratchy throat. We walked down to the library but the tables were full of passengers putting together puzzles, so I picked out one smaller one and brought it back to our cabin to work on. Mark rested. Then we headed to Deck 7, Sports Bar for our Ryder Cup challenge. We both got the same score today. Stayed until all players were done before headed back to our cabin. Showered and got ready for dinner.
Headed to the dining room at 5:30. Ian, Beverly, Greg and Maxine were already seated. Enjoyed our dinner and time together. We were done our meal much faster than usual. I think it's due to less people on the dining room. There are many other choices for dinner. Once we were done eating, we headed to the Princess Theater to see Sarah's second performance. Mark commented that it wasn't as good as her first one. I thought it was very entertaining. Walked to the back of the ship, stopping to check out the view of France on the starboard side of our ship. Also, visited with another American couple. Then we attended the Dancing With the Stars show in the Vista Theater. Six passengers were paired with crew members. It was well done. So many laughs! Everyone enjoyed the show. The sun had not yet set. We headed up to Deck 14, Lido, for a hot drink. I sampled a gluten free dessert that was very dry. We each took a glass of water back to our cabin. I still need to post some pictures on Facebook, when I get done with this blog. The sun is just set around 10:30 with a beautiful pink strip of the color on the horizon off our balcony. Heading to bed shortly, as we will be up and off the ship in Ijmuiden, Netherlands. We have shuttle tickets, meeting at 8 am. It takes an hour to drive to Amsterdam. Mark is booking us on the canal water shuttle which will take us to the Van Gogh Museum. Thanks for the emails and messages. Enjoy your day!
