Day Thirty-One - ms Veendam At Sea Monday 11 August 2014


Woke at 5:15 am this morning -- we set our clocks back one half hour last night to get  on Newfoundland time.   After reading for a while ("The Language of Bees" by Laurie King)  -- met Phil for breakfast.    Our location expert, Barbara, gave a talk at 10:00 am on our next two ports-- St. Anthony and St. John's -- Newfoundland.

I had a nice walk on Deck Six at 11:00 am before meeting Phil for lunch.    Then it was off to a movie at 1:00 pm and the Passenger's Talent Show at 3:00 pm.    The talent show was pretty good with about 7 or 8 acts -- mostly singing.   However, an eleven year old girl showed her expertise in Irish Step Dancing and another young boy played the piano.  The best was a couple who danced the ChaCha --- they've been dancing together for sixty years.



Ruther, Made, Pat and Paguna

This is a good time to showcase our waitstaff in the Rotterdam Dining Room.   These guys have been fantastic.   The food on board is very good but the service they provided has been second to none.  Made is the Head Dining Steward, Paguna is the Assistant Dining Steward and Ruther is our Wine Steward.   These guys have made our dining experience on board most pleasurable!

Well that's the day ---

Thanks for Reading!

Pat
