Today we planned on visiting the Acropolis. The structures found here date back to 3rd and 2nd century BC.
Breakfast and then we grabbed some water. Very hot again today. The walk was a few miles from the ship. Lots of people out in the city.
I labeled the photos. Hold the cursor over them or click to enlarge. Lots of history in this area outside of the walled in city. Wikipedia has a lot of interesting info on this area. We enjoyed a walk back to the ship along the coast and headed up to the Lido for a late lunch.
The “Dive In” is a restaurant in the swimming pool area. Cooked to order burgers and Nathan’s hot dogs. We ordered up some food and commented on the attire of some of the guests in and out of the pool. We both agreed that there is a certain age when one does not wear a speedo or a bikini. Some didn’t get the memo on this. No photos included. Not sure the censors would allow them anyway. I concentrated on the burger and that helped.
I met up with Tim for table tennis tournament. We warmed up with a few singles games and then played doubles when the tournament began.
We had fun losing 2 sets to 1.
Formal night in the dining room. Tim and Kelley joined us.
I happened to find a shop that had some nice cuban cigars. We enjoyed those and a few hands of euchre before the evening entertainment.
Mainstage entertainment was an illusionist and mime. Ruben Camprui. There was no problem getting a seat with so few passengers aboard. We all ended up dozing off. To be fair, it is hard to give an act an evaluation of an act when you are asleep.
I’m guessing with the bands I have heard and this act, COVID has really taken a toll on the entertainment. Musicians and other entertainers haven’t been performing and need to get back into the groove. Some are unwilling to get out into the public. Some do not want to work because the government is paying them to stay home. If I am having an extremely difficult time getting a plumber or an electrician to do work for me, HAL and others are having the same issue with entertainers.…
