At Sea
October 25, 2022
Today we enjoyed the relative calm seas of the Mediterranean. Usual day at sea with breakfast and then gym. Terri did her watercolor class and I hit the treadmill.
We sat with Jose, Richard and Clare for team trivia. Three single men and I believe all three are divorced. Terri asked them if there are a lot of singles aboard and the answer was yes. They do have single meetups on board. We did pretty well but the winners of this event is always the same group. Of course cheating must be the reason. Jose is going to say something to the host about this. I think it is hilarious. Some of the questions are strange. When did trivia begin? Not enough information given for me. We did have a great answer for what a group of Cheetahs is called. Cheetos!
We had another invitation to a wine tasting at 2 pm but we missed it. I guess we had too much on our minds. I have a good laugh at these and I’m sorry we were so busy.
At dinner we sat next to a couple that did the world cruise in 2020, a year after us. This cruise ended in Australia because of the pandemic. After Sydney, the ship couldn’t find a port that would accept them. They finally ended up in Perth and were flown home. They commended HAL for taking care of them during this difficult time. They missed at least one half of the planned cruise.
The evening entertainment was a new show by the duo called Ole. Each did some outstanding solo work. The humor could be from the days of vaudeville. One of the guitarists mounted a harmonica on his guitar and was able to accompany himself while he played it. He could also juggle and did so while his partner played. This show didn’t match their first one. A solid 8.
We finished with cards out near the Sea View bar. Terri is tired of letting me win. I think we are 4 and 4 now.
Tomorrow we are in Crete, Greece.…
