Wow, we slept until 11 AM! I must admit this sea day could not have come at a better time. Five days of heavy touring has taken its toll on us. I am just dragging today. If I didn’t awake before them the girls would have slept all day.

We went to the buffet for breakfast – it wasn’t crowded at all. The sun worshipers came to breakfast early and that made the buffet a joy to eat at. Normally, I hate buffets – they are crowded, noisy, and no fun. My theory is I am on vacation why serve myself, so I usually head to the dining room.

The girls went to the pool and slide while I indulged in a blissful hot stone massage. Then it was off to meet the famous John Heald. He’s the best cruise director on the high seas.
