What an interesting day today. We went up to La Terrazza for brekky and ate out on the terrace. Cheryl and Graham came along and chatted. Then we returned to our suite to start packing. It's so sad. It took ages to get into it, bit finally I was getting somewhere. Our butler offered to do it for us but we declined. It's better to know where everything is, especially with all my little capsules that I use. We ventured down for lunch just after 12, and had a wonder...

Well the seas were quite rough last night as the captain predicted. This morning we continued ploughing through the 10ft swell.

Lunch was at La Terrazza overlooking Cartagena. It was pouring rain and with thunder and lightning and we were worried our excursion would be called off. The ...

So, we thought we'd be very clever and order breakfast in our suite at 6am. It arrived and was very yummy, and then we hastened up to the Observation Lounge to watch the approach and entry into the locks, to find that they had croissants, smoked salmon on mini bagels and other yummy foods with champagne or mimosas! Of course! We should have known!! Eileen spotted me and kept playing me with champagne. I went out onto the deck area and a waiter came along "some fo...
