To say weather has been mixed would be an understatement. Dubrovnik two days ago was sunny and hot – Venice yesterday was cold and wet. Today, we've had cloudy and sunny spells, but the strong winds have kept us all indoors.
Harold has been kept very busy on this cruise. He went to a classical concert this morning at11:00am and a piano and violin recital this afternoon, and in between the two concerts managed to fit in lunch and the painting class. The rest of us have been a bit less active. Dave & I had breakfast late again this morning, at Cafe Bordeaux (the civilised option – we avoid the scrum of self-service buffet whenever possible). We then went up to the Crows Nest lounge with our books and the laptop. There are comfy chairs up there, fabulous views of the sea, and usually a very quiet atmosphere, though not this morning as a musical quiz was in progress. We stayed for an hour or so, until I remembered that I'd not done my 'homework' for this afternoon's painting class. So back to the cabin for a while. Then the painting class for me, followed by very late lunch (3:30) and a cuppa. We then watched a bit of the fashion show, until Dave got bored and we returned to the cabin so that he could continue building a miniature ship to go in the octopus's tentacles. The ship-building competition has been postponed until the 28th October, so we've managed to hang the octopus (and,yes Rob, it does have 8 legs) from one of the pictures in our cabin, as life is cramped enough without sharing our space with a 6 foot seamonster.
Not much more to report at the moment. Dave is currently writing about our day in Venice, and I hope one of the others will also get blogging soon.
love
Janet
