Our First Cruise - Friday 14/05/2010 at Sea

From Crete we knew that there was a day’s sailing before we had any ports in prospect and we planned a very lazy day. We had heard fog horns through the night so the weather seemed more uncertain than it had been.
We got up late, breakfasted slowly, read our emails and found a quiet spot to read; ironically it was right next to the Gym which was seldom busy, although you could sit on a static bicycle and pretend that you were powering the ship forward as you had a great view over the bows. It strikes me now that the equipment could have been wired into the ship’s power supply on the basis that “every little helps”.
We had decided on an alcohol free day and that would also help the on-ship account.
In a programme of activities that we had otherwise no interest in we were resolved to go to the digital camera lecture again in order to see if there was anything additional to pick up, so we forgot!!! We remembered exactly as it would have been finishing, which added to our frustration.
It was a hot day and the sun decks were packed so there was little attraction to going on deck so I downloaded another batch of photographs onto our laptop on the basis that losing the camera would be disaster enough without having to repeat the cruise to recapture the memories.
We had an early dinner and an early night as we were very much looking forward to an early start in Dubrovnik the following day.
