An update

It is Thursday morning and we have an unexpected day at sea as I shared on the blog yesterday. Yes, we are disappointed in not getting to see Palermo, but we are on vacation and just going with the flow. We just had a nice breakfast with a couple from Northern England. Jan is going to go to a basic Spanish class. I haven’t decided what I am going to do…maybe read. The sea is a bit rough, but not anywhere near as rough as we have seen it on a past cruise. We are told that we will have heft head winds all the way back to Barcelona, so it may continue to be a bit rough until Saturday morning. No worries though. The big issue for the change in plans was not anything dangerous for us, but that the pilot that is required by law to be onboard could not get on because of the significant waves. They came alongside in a pilot boat last night and tried several times to get him on the ladder to climb up and on board. They finally gave up as it was risking his safety. So, we have had a marvelous time and will just enjoy what the ship has to offer for the next two days. Enough for now. I think I will also post a variety of pics of Jan and I from the last two weeks.
