Lazy and Disappointing Day At Sea

      What a difference a day makes. Last night we started of trek north west from the Falklands. This morning it is sunny and it getting warmer. We do not see as many parkas, gloves, etc. as we have seen for the last few days. However it is still very windy. The temperature is around 60F.

Morning line dancing class (still basic basic basic) was followed at 10 by a lecture on Eva Peron . It was part of a series on South America. It was more historical but you could see where the musical took parts of the life of Eva and used it along with some great music. Since we had a very light breakfast, we went to the dining room for lunch but needed to leave by 1 to catch the last port lecture.

      It was also announced that there were more tours available for Puerto Madryn. Originally we tried to book a tour into an UNESCO site but it was all sold out in November. We never found a tour that we liked. Now apparently the Celebrity ship that was suppose to be in port at the same time is not going to be there which frees up buses and guides We put our order in for the same Valdes Peninsula tour.  Just before we went to dinner we received our tickets for the tour. It seems like a stroke of good luck to finally get on the one tour that we wanted!

    

Lazy Day At Sea

  The afternoon was filled with the last port lecture followed by Zumba. The lecture was overflowing and the lounge where Zumba was held had more people in it than we have seen. It ran for over an hour. The rest of the day was filled with finishing a bottle of wine! In the evening we went to a show with Dan Riley, a comic. He is the entertainer that takes popular songs and puts his own lyrics to them. We have encountered him before on other Princess cruises.

     It was Italian Night at dinner tonight featuring Italian dishes. Everything was excellent and we once again remarked that the food seems especially good on this tour. The Captain just came on with an announcement. Since we have already finished dinner it was extremely unusual to hear him broadcast everywhere

on the ship. The news was that because they are expecting a strike in the port tomorrow, we will not be going there. The ship has been informed that the strikers will allow the tours to leave but not return! As a result we are headed to the next port and will be in there from noon tomorrow until the afternoon of the following day. So as of now we have no idea what type of schedule we will have. We were suppose to have a sea day the day after tomorrow. Now we will be in port. I hope that the cocktail party is still on!  Who knows?   The photo shows that it was a much better day today in terms of weather.
