Day 13 - At Sea (Off the coast of Spain)


A beautiful, sunny, nice, quiet day at sea today.  And, boy, did we ever need it.  After touring five full days in a row, it was nice to sleep in a bit later and do absolutely nothing today.  We ate breakfast and walked around the ship a bit.  After straightening  up the cabin a bit, I went up on deck, found a nice lounge off in a quiet spot and read for the entire afternoon.   OK…I napped too!!!   It’s hard not to nap with the gentle sway of ship.  The Mediterranean was absolutely calm all day and it was gorgeous with the sun shining on it.   Bill spent part of the day in the casino (no wins yet :( ) and just enjoying the peace and quiet.

Before dinner, the ship passed the Rock of Gibraltar.  What a thrill!!!   It’s not as big as I imagined but it was still a momentous occasion.

Had dinner in the Crown Grill tonight, one of the specialty restaurants on the ship.  Great steaks and absolutely fabulous onion soup…..YUM!!!!   Afterwards, Name that Tune in the lounge.   What a great day!!!
