All at sea

We boarded the now very familiar Queen Victoria on Friday, were able to send Wayne's shirts to the cleaners, do a load of washing and unpack all before we even moved away for the pier. We prepared for dinner, with some intrepidation, wondering who we would be having dinner with for the next two weeks? Our fears were allayed we are dining with a delightful couple from Connecticut, and an elderly couple from Perth. 

Our first day at sea, I (of course) went along to Bingo - winner, yes $35 US, yippee. To be fair there are only about 20 people play, but it is such fun ! 

Wayne and I had a lovely walk around the deck, the weather was glorious. We counted 31 oil rigs at one point, so if you hear of someone working on an oil rig in the North Sea, not exotic - Common !!

We had lunch by the pool, I had a pizza a lovely chef made me, while he sang the Beatles tune 'Michelle'.

In the afternoon we spent some time on the walking machines in the gym, had a spa, then prepared for the first formal night on board. Wayne looks lovely in his tuxedo and new patent shoes.

We had a great night, the couple from Perth didn't make it dinner, so the four of us talked, ate, talked more, drank more and so on.......  It was a great night.

What's in store for today, more bingo, more eating, maybe even more walking but definitely more relaxing!, cheers M
