Today is Thursday September 25th. We honestly did not know what day it was this morning! I guess that is a good sign of a great vacation, right?
We Mike and I had a great night's sleep. He probably slept over 10 hours. I finished putting away clothing and unpacking our final suitcase. He was asleep by 9:30 p.m. and I was asleep shortly after that.
I got up a few times in the night and saw lightning through our portal window. There was a storm in the area. But the saline was very smooth. This is a very smooth ship! Our first little jaunt was just a little ways down the coast. Our stuff was at Koper, Slovenia. We did not have an organized tour for that day, so we just disembarked and wandered through the nearby town. Mike and I got there in time to listen to an organ recital in their very old and beautiful cathedral. The music was amazing! I don't even know what kind of cathedral it was. Catholic? Probably.
The three of us siblings had breakfast all together with Barbara and Kelly. Robert and Janet came a little later but we're nearby. I have not even yet seen Elizabeth and Angela and their partners. We have been having a nice, relaxing time.
I have been struggling with Wi-Fi and internet connection. I mean not really sure how to fix it even after speaking to the communications manager at his desk. Oh well. I will do my best to try to keep my blog updated.
The meals so far have been really good. Mike and I had a pre breakfast snack because we were hungry at 7:00 as we went exploring the ship. We just made it a point to eat a little bit of fruit before meeting butch and Donna for breakfast at 8:30. So we had pre breakfast, then breakfast, then we had lunch, just Mike and I. Then we had a snack while we were waiting in the afternoon after our nap and walk through the town of Koper. And we still have dinner to go! Haha. Oh well. The meals are not humongous. It is tempting, however! So much ice cream and cakes and cookies around.
Mike and I did a trivia game with a assistant cruise activities director in the atrium. There were only about five of us participating. It was silly and fun. We met Robert and Janet in the card room just by chance and played a game of golf with them. Mike and I discovered that the pool area is very busy on a summer port today! Two pools and four hot tubs and they were all filled to capacity. The boat is filled to capacity, as well. There are about 2400 customers and about 1500 crew. It's a busy place.
