We have moved our clocks so far during our cruise two hours ahead, as we sail to our destination – Greenland.
It was another sunny day with temps in the low 60’s. The waves were a comfortable 5’ and we once again mounted in our favorite spot by the pool. We had breakfast and lunch in The Restaurant and it was nice to be served at a table instead of perusing the buffet options in the World Cafe. The nice thing about the World Cafe however is…they have sushi, which The Restaurant does not offer.

In the afternoon we listened to a guest lecture given by Corey Sandler entitled “The Beatles Decoded – Rene Magritte, Khalil Gibran & “Sexy Sadie”’. The talk was very interesting as Corey told us the meaning behind many of the Beatles songs. Before the lecture started, he showed some rare recorded footage of the Beatles while they were performing and he delved into the meaning behind the lyrics. There were a few songs I was not familiar with, and I learned a few things I never knew about the Beatles, and it made for a very enjoyable afternoon.

We had dinner in the Restaurant, and as usual, it was an excellent cuisine. We both had a duck and chicken liver parfait and for the main course, lamb chops that were done to perfection.
The manager of The Restaurant, J.P., we knew from our Antarctic excursion, and he has been very helpful procuring dinner reservations for us and doing anything he can to make our cruise memorable.

The young lady who arranges the reservations at the specialty restaurants is also very accommodating, as is Allan’s favorite crew member, the sweet girl who serves the gelato. They are on a first name basis now after only three days.

After dinner I went to hear the taped performance of Mozart’s The Magic Flute. I stayed through the first act but I was not a fan of the music. Give me La Boheme or Madam Butterfly instead.

Then it was off to bed. Tomorrow is another sea day.
