Another great relaxing day at sea as we make our way up to Naples. We spent the day lounging around, eating, drinking cappuccinos and generally relaxing. I also went to a lecture given by a lady who was an Antarctic expedition leader – quite interesting. In the afternoon Mike and I went to a single malt scotch tasting, yes this cruising thing is really tough. The tasting was very good, with generous pours and an enthusiastic Romanian bar steward as the speaker – I think this is the first tasting we’ve attended given by a Romanian. What he lacked in knowledge (which was considerable) he made up for in enthusiasm and a genuine love of single malt.
We had arranged to go to a special Indian dinner and it turned out to be surprisingly good. During dinner we could see the coasts of Italy and Sicily approaching on both sides of the ship so when we finished we retired to the Commodore Club. From this nice bar right at the front of the ship we could see the lights on both sides of the straight – which at its narrowest point was very close indeed. We hung around just to make sure the Captain didn’t mess up, and then we turned in.
