Well, three lovely sea days with calm seas and sunny weather – some wind, but manageable.
We have Auntie Lil, Uncle Ken, Janice and Ian aboard with us which was a lovely surprise, although I did have a sneaking suspicion.
Valencia was lovely and we woke to the sun on our balcony. Dave Dad and I went off into the city and enjoyed an hour's tour around on the hop on hop off bus. Temperature was 26, so we enjoyed a dip in the pool when we got back onboard. We loved the 'feel' of the place and would definitely go back there.
Days are spent relaxing, reading and eating. There are plenty of activities to keep us busy. Dad and Janet have been to painting classes and Ian and I have joined the chorus of HMS Pinafore which is to be performed on Jane McMinn's birthday - Jane I think that you would love it ! It is however VERY SERIOUS !!!!
We have been joint first in a quiz, and lost on the tie break question – How many days was Ronnie Biggs free before his recapture in 2001 – surely everyone knows that !
Today we are at Palma and it is much cooler – they had a storm last night, but we have been dry all day, but did need a jacket. We had a trip out to Inca and the large market there which was mainly handbags and scarves, but an interesting ride out there.
The Captain – or Cap-it-aine as he calls himself is Neil Turnbull – a Lancastrian since the age of 7, and a very personable and friendly chap.
Tonight we have opened the balcony divider between us and the Currans as were hoping to invite the rest of the gangfor drinks, but it is cool and rather blowy, so we will wait for better weather I think.
Well, must get off now ready for sailaway and another delicious meal. Two sea days ahead before Corfu on Sunday
More another day
Julie Dave and Harold
