Sailing towards Naples across a choppy Mediterranean - strong winds and a largish swell heading south from the Bay of Lions.
We have noticed the unannounced appearance in many of the public areas of colourful containers of suspicious looking receptacles. Five house points for anybody who can tell us what "motion disturbance bags" are for. Lose ten points if you fill it!!!
Today we hit the 20 mile mark for walking demented around the deck. Jane has been to circuit training and Spanish lessons. Last night we looked in on the show - Philip Brown, one of the cast of The Lion King - well impressed, a fantastic show.
This morning the Head Chef gave a demonstration of some of the food prepared on the ship. To his eternal credit he split his Bearnaise sauce just like you or I would and had to start again. It's a pain when you are live and can't edit out your mistakes like James Martin. An impressive display of gluten free products available on board. We were given. A packet of gf biscuits in case finding food in Naples was a problem tomorrow - how's that for service?
2 posh nights so far - tonight we can wear our jeans as long as the knees are not worn out from doing knee skids across the carpet. Toby and Sam please note!!
