Day 49 sea day

A relaxing day day at sea, very much needed. We had a late breakfast....as we were getting brekkie the staff were setting up the lunch buffet!! It was French theme so lots of pastries and chocolate. Caught up with friends we haven't seen for a while, George played dominoes with Roy and Barry, and I had a Turkish tea party with Kim and Catherine....we all bought an Apple Tea set in Istanbul and this was the first opportunity to try it, its very sweet but nice. We had dinner in the Dining Room which was lovely as we have missed a few nights due to all the busy ports. The Horizon Court (buffet) is fine but sometime nothing really appeals to us, maybe we are getting fussy. Tonight the staff set up the most beautiful display of cakes and desserts, but it was at 10.30 p.m. and we had just left the Dining Room so no one was hungry. We will arrive in Gibraltar early tomorrow and only have till 1.30 p.m. so we intend to leave the ship around 7 a.m......well that's the plan anyway.
