Monday
Dear Elsie
Today was the day we spent cruising gently down very calm water of the Adriatic Sea. This is our route. We left Trieste (just above the S of Slovenia on the map below) and are headed for the red marker.
That is Katakolon in Greece, where we will probably get off and have a little wander.
The day began before 6am. When I woke up I had this unexpected sight. Yesterday morning was sunrise, this morning the moon!
I did some work and then went deck walking for half an hour.
Sunbeds by the hundreds waiting for occupants who will soon arrive.
After that I went straight to the buffet and picked up breakfast, which I enjoyed on my balcony. We all did our own thing this morning.
I had a busy work day with 4 calls. Turns out I worked 6 hours. We did have a break by going to the Cappuccino cafe for a cappuccino just after lunchtime. Life unfolding on the ship…
Meanwhile, we also had front row seats to an enthusiastic game of Italian Hide and Go seek by a couple of the sweetest little girls – about 5 year olds. The counting going on…
It was so sweet to watch them scuttling into little hiding places. Plenty of spots on this ship, that’s for sure.
Back to work I went and now it’s time to stop. I think I’m going to go walking again. Our dinner time has been pushed to 6.45pm, so I have a little time. We are also back on Istanbul time so an hour ahead of South Africa.
Psalm 107:23-24
Some went out on the sea in ships; they were merchants on the mighty waters. They saw the works of the Lord, His wonderful deeds in the deep.
It’s not about now – we are only passing through.
Keep the smile going.
God bless you.
In His Grip
