At Sea today heading for Ny Alesund tomorrow
7 lazy day as we are Sea for the day..entered the Wii Bowling comp and was soundly beaten !! Ate lots of deliciuos food and went to a jewish Prayer meeting (our table friends invited us) I explained that I am atheist and that was OK by them.I like to see hoe others do their rituals and this was quite good and included a glass of wine and bread ! Into the ceremony the captain announced Whales had been spotted,so the ceremony was halted in order we could spot the whales ! (we didnt!) I even got to wear a skull cap !! We wandered around the deck and it was very fresh,very cold!! After another great dinner ( the waiter dropped a butter spoon on my jacket and immediately offered to have it dry cleaned !! cleaned off no problems tho,but I loved the service!) Early night tonight (11.20 and still daylight !!) as we are hoping to wander around Ny Alesund early tomorrow BUT that is another story !!
Day 6 Norway
6…We are at sea for 2 days and took advantage by rising at 10.30 am AND there is still plenty of food around !!The morning was very blustery and damp, we were treated to a rainbow spectacle that appeared right below us from the Sea! needless to say no one was prepared to dive in for the pot of gold !! We ventured into the Lords Tavern and played 10 pin bowling courtesy of the Wii Machine !! Pre dinner we went to watch a has been politician who was telling us how good she was (Edwina Curry/from the Thatcher years ) we walked out after 10 mins !! After dinner we watched a show revolving around musuc from the movies and the kids that performed were SO energetic and good.We are nearing the Arctic Circle and daylight is 24 hrs a day now !! Food is still amazing with the widest of choices imaginable.Having a window in our cabin is a bonus and I could sit and watch the ocean all day (and night !!)
Day 5 in Norway
Our 3rd Anniversary and Annie has done very well putting up with me !! awake early ready for the bus trip around Trondheim (we thought £35 was extravagent for a 90 minute boring bus ride that was advertised as a 2 hour trip !!) .Annie has complained and we await the outcome !) we used the cinema for the first time and the audience majority is my age and half way thru the movie 50% of the moviegoers were asleep !!Pre dinner show was a 45 minute concert by 2 young delightful violinist and it was surprisingly excellent! The last 2 numbers was the Hornpipe & Rule Brittania !! (99% audience are british !!) After dinner we were treated to a comedian/singer who has been around for a lot of years in the group Grumbleweeds and is now a solo artist also a great night (How are we going to settle when we get back home in Australia after this cruise?) Bed by daylight at midnight !We were also refunded 20% of the rip off trip !
