As we made our way along the English Channel last night the threatened storms didn’t seem to have the expected results. The winds were high and the sea a little rough but not as much as predicted. As we turned into the North Sea with the wind behind us the strength of the wind was effectively neutralised and the sun started to come out. By lunchtime people had gathered by the swimming pools and were actually sun bathing.
Poppy and Joseph were desperate to join in the swimming and although the main pool turned out to be a little cold and deep for them, the splash pool proved a success. It was so nice that I joined in their fun.
With the sea calm and the sun out it was a perfect opportunity for a selfie on the balcony, this being the most successful of several attempts.
Later in the afternoon we all attended the theatre for a show entitled “Ministry of Science - Live!”, a fun presentation of science experiments which was enjoyed by children, parents and grandparents alike. The children sat with their new found friends from the kids’ club and joined in all the fun. The presenting team are apparently on-board throughout the holiday and will be carrying out daily experiments. Poppy and Joseph are really looking forward to these.
Tonight was the first of two formal nights on this cruise and as there was nothing too appealing on the main restaurant menu we decided to eat in the Beach Hut, a Tex-Mex offering which we all throughly enjoyed. Tomorrow our first port of call - Stavanger.
