Other diversions include hot tubs, swimming, gym (only Khachik), and a little bit of rest in the sun. My resolve not to eat so much, as I can't move about to burn it all off, failed miserably last night. I will just share my transgression! Melon slices and mango sorbet, Shellfish Bisque, Pheasant wrapped in pancetta, Blueberry souffle with clotted cream and a fruit sauce, peppermint tea with chocolate covered Turkish delight. Erm, i really did enjoy it, absolutely everything about it. There's a smell of hot cross buns in the air too.
This cruise we haven't spent much time in the theatres at night, so perhaps we need to start looking at the evening entertainment as we enjoyed it so much last year.
We have been listening to the talks though. Today we listened to the Port Victoria talk and decided that it would probably be best to just visit the town, rather than go on an excursion, as most of the excursions from the ship involve quite a lot (for me at the moment) of walking, or they are snorkelling or beach days, and we aren't really cut out for that much exposure to the sun. We spend a few minutes a day in the direct sun and even that's with a factor 30, so it would be a bit risky I think. So that's the plan, and if that doesn't work we will just enjoy the views from the port or from the ship.
We appear to have had a part refund for our elephant experience in Sri Lanka. How strange, as we had no complaints, it was crowded, but we just put that down to it being popular. However some of the other buses on the same trip had had poor experiences and they had complained, so we all received 40% refund We returned to the cabin last night to find a letter of apology that the trip wasn't up to the usual standard! We have, nevertheless, accepted said refund. We can within our budget find something in Cape Verde and the Canaries now :)
As homage to the elephants of Sri Lanka I have sketched something from one of our photos and hope to do that justice with some paint tomorrow.
Bye for now xx
