Tuesday 17th At Sea
We had passed through the strait
separating Sicily from the mainland during the night and here we were back in
the Med. We managed to get brekky in before the 8.30 stretch session, which was
extremely good – stretched all the bits the others leave tight. That was in the
gym and then we joined the animators next to the pool for more stretching
running into aerobics. They do these sort of things very much like their MSC
countrymen. Thence to the gym for a few quick weights and then the first quiz
(about colours) . . . which we won. Luckily J knew what colour emu eggs are but
we flunked out on beaver teeth. Lunch
which included some delicious mussels in shells which we shared with a Welsh
lady. We find we are attracted to anyone who we hear speaking English. More
quizzes which we didn’t win, dinner, show and bed. Hell you know the drill by
now.
The Americans are interesting – Tom
is Jewish American and about 80.The rest have unpronounceable names and were
Israeli. Mum is 40 something and there are a very nice pair of 16-17 year olds.
Tom is on his 4th wife, having split from all the others when they
were 29. She says she was waiting for him to grow up J
Random volcano we passed. Then it bellowed a bit of black smoke for us.
