I’m feeling pretty pleased with MBW and myself today. We got up early and went to Zumba up on Level 14 by the pool.
Just for full transparency, we didn’t actually do Zumba in the traditional “put on your exercise clothes, get on the mat, work up a sweat” kind of way. It was more of a “sit on a sun lounge, drink some coffee, and eat some danishes” kind of thing while we watched other people do Zumba.
I’m not expecting any heath benefits from doing Zumba this way, but at least we made an effort.
The day was a bit of a repeat of yesterday … nice (mostly) blue skies, sun shining, although the breeze was cool. The seas were a bit rougher today, so we sat on the pool deck listening to the crashing of waves and I was reminded of holidays at Tallebudgera surf beach. Except that the crashing of waves was the water in the pool sloshing from one end to the other and crashing over the edge of the pool.
Some of the braver souls went swimming, while some others – who should have known better – stripped down to their swimming gear and took more than their fair share of the sun’s rays.
I made MBW a nice cup of tea at around 10.30am and ordered a brewed coffee for myself (I told you it was a slow day), and by 12.00noon the magic app said that my coffee had been delivered, yet I have no recollection of receiving it or sense of pleasure from drinking it.
I assume it was delivered to some other lucky soul and I hope that they enjoyed it. Fortunately Jayson – one of the waiters that was hovering around – went and sourced me another.
We tried out the “Slice of Pizza” place on Level 14 for lunch today and it was really good. Then MBW decided that she needed some loaded fries from the hot dog place but I haven’t had much of an appetite since I have been feeling less than 100%, and the bowl she got me was just too rich for my liking.
Sitting out on the open deck just got too cold after a while, so we moved back aft (towards the blunt end) a little and up to the Conservatory on Level 15, where the sound of waves crashing was even louder, but it was warm and sunny out of the wind.
I could write a whole lot of words here, but really not much more happened.
Back to E521 for a nap, and then tonight was formal night so we put on our good clothes and I took MBW out for dinner.
After dinner they had the “Sweet Soul Music” show. Once again … or maybe I’ve only thought it before this … but the Princess singers and dancers put on a better show that the special guests. Sweet Soul Music was a great production with great music and a fabulous performance by the Princess crew.
Another game of trivia, then bed. Only one more sleep after this one and we will be back home!
