Sailing Back To Canada


   We left Greenland last nigh and are headed south to St John's Newfoundland. The entire transit will only be 2 days. We arrive there on Sunday morning. The day is overcast and the waves are up a bit, the temperature is cool (40's) so going outside is probably out. In a few days we may be wishing for this cool weather.
There was a little more to do today but we started with the zumba routine for an hour this morning. After all the hiking we did in the last few days we fell right back into it. Tea with a muffin in the International Cafe served as breakfast. Another store at sea (buy, buy buy) again today. Judy did stop and looked at a diamond ring just because!
    We waited for the pub lunch to clear out then sat with a nice couple from Virginia until they kicked us out. We made it to the dance class where The Jive (East Coast). Actually we did ok with this dance. We did it to Rock and Roll Music. We had a bit of a break before the line dance class where the simple dances prevailed. It was led by the new cruise person onboard. She had the steps to Cupid Shuffle written down. The newest person always gets to do line dancing so there is never a change to what they do!
   We had the Captain's Circle Party in the late afternoon. There are just under 1100 elite aboard. We sat with a couple from Calgary. The most cruised couple have over 1700 days at sea. That is the most that we have ever seen. We did get to the showtime entertainment with an Instrumentalist who we missed the other night. He was a fiddle (violin) player. It was very entertaining. Then of course dinner. We had a filet with giant prawns. One of the bands was playing Country Classic so we dropped in to see what they were playing. It was old country. Then there had a “Dancing With The Stars” type dance party with couples made up of someone from the ship and a passenger. We had never seen it before and it was quite funny; especially the type of dances that they were given (Bollywood, Irish Step, etc.) .
   The internet has been very slow so I have not been able to post all the photos that I would have liked. Email is impossible except in the middle of the night. Sea day tomorrow then Newfoundland.
