Saturday 20th August<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Weather:<\/strong> Foggy morning, but lifting slightly in the afternoon
\nSea Conditions:<\/strong> pretty flat<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Our first morning on board and still waking up about 5.30am. When we need to be up early, we’ll oversleep. I dived out to grab a coffee for Jon and I from the International Cafe on Deck 5 and took it back to the cabin. We opted for the civilised breakfast in the Da Vinci Dining Room. Callum and I had the special – Blueberry Pancakes (with Bacon) and Jon the other special – Smoked Salmon with scrambled eggs and hash browns.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Callum had his morning planned out at Kids Club so he was duly dropped off and Jon and I went to listen to the lecture. There was a Geologist on board and the first talk was on Glaciers. We then sat and had a coffee before picking Callum up for lunch. We decided to have a light lunch from the International Cafe – bit like the Costa on the P&O ships but they serve cakes, sandwiches and soup of a lunchtime – we just grabbed a sandwich each (and a couple of cakes!).<\/p>\n\n\n

After lunch we explored the outside decks of the ship a little more – bit breezy! <\/a><\/p>\n\n\n
