Day 95

April 27, 2019 – at Sea

We slept in today. 6:30 am. I felt like half of the day had already passed by the time we had breakfast.

It was nice to get back to the gym. We do not have many gym days left until we head across the Atlantic. A lot of the machines are down for repair and getting one is more difficult.

Team trivia seemed harder than usual. I knew that magnetic north was in Canada but the Canadians were lukewarm on the idea and so was Fred. Norway was our answer. Who created Rudolph the Red Nosed Reindeer? I said Johnny Mercer. He wrote the song. Incorrect. What does M & M stand for?

The carpets on the elevator were replaced last week. These remind passengers what day of the week it is. They are selling the old ones for $50 a piece or $300 for a set of seven. I say purchase “FRIDAY” and use it as your entry mat.

Ian did his presentation this morning about the next two stops. Copenhagen and Oslo. We have no tours planned for these two stops. Lot’s of walking ahead. I suspect there will be crowds to deal with at both of these stops.

It was the Orange Gala night in honor of King’s Day in the Netherlands. We had dinner at Bob and Brenda’s table. I think they are anxious to get back to Yuma, Arizona. Lot’s of immigration trouble to deal with.
