Day Eight – At Sea

At sea today so everywhere is packed. The ship is doing about 20mph so it was a bit windy doing our walk a mile this morning!

We went to the towel folding demonstration this morning which was very good.. We even got an instruction book on how to make them at home which should keep cathy busy :). After that was a napkin folding class which was pretty silly. The guy was doing stupid folds rather than anything you’d actually use. We also used our free spin voucher in the casino and I won extra big!! Won an extra big t-shirt with ‘jackpot winner’ written on it anyway 🙂

Lunch was at Johnny Rockets. Apparently it’s the ‘original’ burger place from the states and it’s like a 50s American diner at the back of the ship. Normally there is a charge to eat there, but we had a free voucher. We had onion rings, fries, big burgers with bacon, stawberry shakes and a chocoloate sundae.. A nice light lunch! It’s very very windy outside, even with the extra burger weight cathy almost got blown overboard.

The afternoon was wine tasting and snooze time. Water is getting pretty choppy and the ship is rocking all over the shop. Packing was funny to do while staggering all over the cabin; they’ve actually closed most of the outside bits now because it’s so wobbly and windy. We played another game of air hockey, which cathy won, but unfortunately, due to the wind conditions, official regulations say it doesn’t count 🙂

We’ve booked an excursion round barca tomorrow to kill some time. It takes us round the sites, including the nou camp which I want to see, then drops us at the airport about 1pm.. It’s costing about 10quid more each than a straight taxi would cost, which is pretty good.
