tomorrow Cueta Spanish Morocco

Boy am I sleeping soundly! And the ocean is barely with any waves. The temperature is getting a little warmer and Lisa is living in the sun and sauna.

Port talk

On Portamao in Portugal. Lisa leaves us there and shore excursions and the destination speaker helped us by getting information on how she can get from this little port to the town of Faro where she takes the plane by to Norway. Later I asked the photographer if anyone on the ship speaks and writes Portuguese. I found this person and she cheerfully wrote a note to the taxi driver so we can be sure they understand where she is going and the price we believe the ride should be. The town is a one hour drive from our port. I am constantly amazed at the resources and resourcefulness of the people on this ship.

Tug of war

Between various departments of the ship. It was hilarious with the principal singer acting as cheerleader. Passengers were draped over the running track on deck 10 and there was a large crowd around the pool to witness this hilarious event.

Trivia

There were 5 of us and near the end Lisa showed up so she helped validate one answer and totally give us the answer to another question. Well, amazingly, we won! So we now have princess pens to add to our booty. The irony is two fold: I had said about midway that I had a good feeling about today’s trivia. And when Lisa came, she was looking for a pen as hers had stopped working. Do you believe in such things? In any event, the coincidence is funny.

Lunch on back of ship in the sun (Lisa’s choice) and Craig and Ramona joined us. Just fun conversation.

Back to room to complete immigration forms for Morocco tomorrow. We have to fill out two each: one for entry, one for exit; and they retain our passport at the border!

Ed and Lisa went to wine tasting as she has not had the experience and I am a waste with red wines.

Casual photos

We did these with Lisa. They are doing things like shouting, accepting a rose and such. I wanted to get as many pictures with her as I could before she left.

Show tonight

Is Gaucho dancing. I think we’ve already lost Lisa to resting. But I don’t want to miss this show even though I’d love to get into my PJs and listen to my book. Tomorrow is a long day: 2 hrs each way into Morocco and so I want to be ready for it.
