Two days at sea

When the day starts with a whale spouting as he passes while you are at breakfast, you know it will be a nature kinda day.

Milos Radakovich, the naturalist on the cruise, is hosting a seminar every morning. The first was on wildlife of the open ocean. Very interesting and a naturally funny man. Learnt so much and laughed more than normal in a lecture.

Up to the solarium for a little chill time with a good sea view, hoping for a little more nature, to which a group of playful dolphins quickly obliged. Milos says however, that they were likely seals rather than dolphins.

Then, to add to our spot list for the day, many of each:

seal, royal albatross, the one with 3.5m wingspan, slightly smaller black browed albatross, petrel.

The second day’s talk was fire and ice – gases and liquids forget, rocks remember…….. the history of our planet is written in the rocks. Wow! Even more interesting than the previous day!

And this is where we are heading…

Welcome to our morning sunrise view.

This is our main restaurant for those with our stateroom class. The food is amazing even though it is called “clean” eating. It also includes the spa and gym….. yes, we have gym kit!

This is the spa relaxing room

Then there is, of course, a steam room, sauna, dry sauna, and chill room with heated loungers.

Ready for posh night!

A great gig, followed by the best silent disco…… thankfully a good range on the earphones that extends the party to many floors! Interesting to see a good bloke count on the dance floor too!
