10-15 At sea

We were really tired from staying up to watch the rescue of the miners the night before (which was in the middle of the night where we were) and all the walking the ruins of Olympia yesterday, so we slept 12 hours last night!  Got up at 10:30 a.m. and it felt sooo good!

Had a Mongolian BBQ lunch (skipped breakfast).  I went to the lecture on the next four ports.  Doug went to the Life At Sea talk with the captain of our ship (“PJ”) and some senior officers.  He said it was interesting and the questions were quite good – none of this “where does the crew sleep at night” stupid stuff!  Doug had tried to connect to the Internet, but as usual, the satellite was down and there was no way to connect.  If Internet were free, it would still be a huge pain!  We hope to connect at a Wi Fi place in Venice tomorrow.

Tonight was formal night, but we didn’t feel like such a big, fancy meal, so we dined in the Lido.  It was faster and good.  Doug went to the show -  a Greek classical guitar player named George Sakellariou.  I worked on my Blog.  When Doug returned, he said it was so good, I should go to the 10 p.m. show.  So, we both went.  It really was good – and worth it to stay up that extra hour.  Plus, we gain an hour tonight, so that will help with our early start in Venice!
