A Beautiful Sunset at the End of a Great Voyage
The Full Moon Rising in the East
We’ve had two absolutely lovely days at sea. We could not have asked for calmer seas and more beautiful skies. Last night (Sunday) we had a spectacular sunset. As we headed west toward the setting sun in the east directly behind us the full moon was rising. From our balcony we could see both. It was quite remarkable to see the two events occurring almost at the same time.
We spent Sunday listening to our last lecture by the astronomer on board, playing Scrabble and in the afternoon our trivia team managed to not win again. Last night we met two of our new cruise critic friends Wes and Ida in the Observation Lounge and wound up dining together. The food, wine, service and company were excellent.
Today we went to a cooking demonstration by the visiting Cordon Bleu chef on the ship. He prepared a quick and easy Tuna a la Basque. I will definitely have to try it at home. At lunch at the Pool Grill they had an international medley of things. There were escargots, crab legs, huge shrimp and mussels, curry, brats and too many other things to name. We wound up at a table by the pool with our British and Scots teammates. We all drank some wine and beer and had a great time. I don’t know if it was the spirits freeing our minds, but we actually WON at trivia today. Perhaps we should have been imbibing a little all along.
We concluded our Scrabble tournament and the winner shall remain a mystery.
All in all it has been a wonderful cruise! The small ship experience has been very nice. I’m sure it won’t be our last.
