Wednesday April 23
Another leisurely day at sea and our last one for a week. Although we lost a few hundred passengers who disembarked in Athens we gained hundreds more so we're now at full capacity! This means more queues, and people who need to be "trained" to chill out and relax like we are after nearly 4 weeks of cruising.
The weather has turned decidedly cooler and the seas a bit rougher (2-3 metre swells) as we head further north towards Sicily, but with the stabilisers on these modern ships you barely notice it.
Tonight we were invited to dinner in the Canaletto Italian Restaurant by Tom & Kay Cook, the owners of Thomas Cook Boot & Clothing where Noelle used to work. We had a great night talking about old times and also all the wonderful places we had all visited around the world. Tom & Kay are seasoned travellers so had many tips and stories to tell. We certainly learned a lot, as well as eating some delicious Italian food.
We now enter "touring mode" with a new port to explore each day, so we've been reading up in the library on some of the new ones in preparation for our first time experiencing them.
