Day Three - at Sea on the ms Veendam Monday - 14 July 2014

We both had a good night's rest -- sleeping on a ship is really wonderful.

After walking two miles on Deck Six and having breakfast with Phil -- we both attended the 10:00 am port briefing specifically for independent travelers (those of us not taking any tours).

The "Location Specialist" covered our first three ports-- all located in Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada --- Cornerbrook, Red Bay and Cartwright.   We picked up some good tips on what to see in these small towns -- Cornerbrook's population is just shy of 20,000 but Red Bay and Cartwright have populations in the hundreds.  

After lunch I attended a seminar on "How to Use Your Digital Camera" --- it was pretty good.   This session enlightened me to the fact that our point and shoot camera is way too complex for me -- at least on this trip.   It's back to the iPhone for my pictures.

These days at sea have been great -- it is an adjustment to settle in for five weeks --  but we've had a chance to get into a routine -- Phil has picked a favorite table by the pool just outside the Lido for breakfast and lunch.

Tomorrow we stop for the day in Cornerbrook, Newfoundland, Canada -- we'll see what we find.

Thanks for reading!
