Sunday 23rd day at sea


We left Athens on Saturday night for the long sea leg round to Naples.  This meant that today was a day at sea.

We decided to make it a fairly easy day – skipping breakfast, reading our books on our verandah & relaxing.  However the Holland America Line is a sponsor of a breast cancer charity & had organized a 5 Km walk around the deck as part of an “on deck for a cure” fund raiser.  So we spent about an hour in the afternoon going on a brisk walk – something we really needed.

Dinner tonight was formal – so we dressed up & shared a table with a lovely couple from the US – he a rancher & she an artist.  They live just outside Santa Barbara.  Then we were off to a piano bar for a guy doing an historical tour of the Beatles albums with great renditions of a huge number of their songs.  This is only the 2nd time that we’ve had the energy stay up too long after dinner.  Perhaps after 2 weeks of holidays we’re relaxed and rested enough to stay up late?

What helped with the decision to stay up is that we turned our clocks backward an hour as well as not docking until 10am in Naples tomorrow.
