17/7 At Sea with Costa


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.
