19/7 Sea again


Thursday 19th At Sea

Brekky and Luciano’s stretch class at 8.30. Straight down to the pool for the stretchy aerobics. I hit the gym for an hour while J went for her massage with Fabrizio. We were supposed to take our passports for the Israelis to have a look at us but the queues were huge so we went after lunch.

*J’s massage mmmmmmmmmmm fffffabulous Fabrizio*

Costa have a long empty lunchtime which we quite like because we can have a nap. We got up for the craft class at 3pm where J made a mask. I caught up on the blog. We trotted down to the disco (quite hard to find) and did surprisingly well in a quiz trying to guess the emblems of international soccer teams. We had seen a few during the recent world cup and deduced a few.

Hey this is good – when they read out the answers, it transpired that the first answer was Bolivia. Something rang in my head and I started saying - hey I should know that because I bought a Bolivian soccer shirt while we were there (why????). At that moment, I further realised that I was actually wearing it . . . . AND WE GOT IT WRONG!!!  It has the emblem embroidered on the chest. Yeah the Quiz Geniuses.

They ran on into another 20 questions where you had to recognise the outline of countries. Very few people got Vietnam Thailand or South Africa (and Aus and NZ) and we thought we might win but when the winners came down from upstairs it turned out to be a bunch of 15. Costa only award one (small) prize per team so they don’t limit the team size. Times have changed since we won large towels and carry bags on Costa Allegra in 2009.

We are allowing ourselves another lazy interlude before dinner and I have caught up with the backblog (how’s that for a new word??).
