Morning everyone
I'm going to start today off with a warning........
Never, ever, ever, ever order Huevos Rancheros in the MDR
for breakfast - it's just all kinds of urggghhhhhh - if I'd been served it in
the UK, I'd have taken it home to use as putty for the windows. Dreadful stuff.
After we'd eaten (or not eaten) breakfast, I decided we
needed to wash some clothes.
Everyone else had had the same idea.
The laundromat was packed out but within a minute of
walking in, someone's wash finished & I got a machine - yayyyy, lucky me 😏. While the wash was on I did some
ironing. I also jumped out of my skin at
one point.
And it was because of LAUNDRY-GATE
There was a disagreement between a couple of guys over a
dryer then the guy who'd felt wronged bashed the top of one washing machine very
aggressively & stormed out. Bashy's wife
came in a few minutes later saying she'd heard all about and started the
'disagreement' all over again. It made for a very uncomfortable atmosphere and I got out as soon as I could.
We went to the morning quiz (equal 3rd) then had our
first ever main dining room lunch. T didn't feel
like much cos he'd had a big brekky but I was starving so five spice chicken wings
followed by a fabulous pasta and meatball dish certainly helped fill the
gap. I must say though that unless there
was a not to be missed menu, I don't think I'd go to the MDR for lunch
again.......takes too much time out of your day but it was a nice 'one-off'.
The past couple of days have been really rough with the
ship tossing and rolling all over the place.
Yesterday, the captain warned everyone to hold on to rails when we were
moving throughout the ships, the pools were emptied and most of the hot tubs were
netted over & couldn't be used.
It's been fun - we both felt like we were walking through
jelly (jell-o) and finding yourself going in a different direction to what you
intended has been a hoot.
We've never seen or experienced weather like it so we
took advantage & spent a lot of yesteday afternoon walking around on deck -
it was amazing at times....especially watching the waves. Some of the
bigger swells turned into huge white-caps and if they caught the sun just
right, it produced a rainbow. Sadly, too
quick to take a pic but the memory is there......you've gotta love nature.
We went to the HC for a very early dinner then spent the
rest of the evening in the Explorers lounge.
We took part in a trivia quiz (we were awful) then we sat with L and C
to watch Xcite (the resident 'pop' group) and we also teamed up with them to play
the Majority Rules Quiz. We weren't
brilliant at that either but it's such fun to play.......ask a general question
about anything at all and the most popular answer is the winner. I hope they do
another one before the end of the cruise

After the quiz, Xcite came back on stage for their final set of the
evening but by then we were ready for bed.
N'night 😴😴
