September 16,17,18, 2019 Sea day and health days

We are in Invergordon, Scotland, and Ed has come down with a wee bit of a cold. We were scheduled to take a bus to Inverness and spend the day on our own, but on mutual decision we decided to take a health day. It is raining, and about 50 F so best to skip this tour and be healthy for Normandy! 

So while he sleeps I will try to catch you up. On the 16th we were in Greennock (Glasgow), we had nothing seceded so stayed on the ship and we were able to see the Scotich show put on by the local people. It was wonderful and we were really happy we didn’t have a tour, as you miss things like that. There’s another one today at four this afternoon, I will try to see, but I’m not sue Ed will be upto it. Had we been on our tour, we would have missed it. 

The 17th was a sea day, and the Captains party and a very interesting day it was. We started the day with breakfast in our special dinning room for the first time. It is only open on sea days, it was a worthwhiled thind to do, it was very good. The food on the ship has been very good for the most part. I don’t expect any restaurant to be perfect every time. 

Then later I had a hair appointment and the stylist I had, Vladimir Aralics, was very good, and he didn’t try to sell me anything, and this was also the case, a few days ago when I had a manicure. Not like the past, when that was a big grip, the hard sell for products, refreshing. 

So we then had the captains party and they announced the most traveled, 1,657 days, amazing. Then on to dinner, of escargot, some of the best we have ever had! And lobster tails, and lobster thurmado, the lobster thourmado was divine, the tail, was over cooked. 

So that brings us to today our health day, and hopefully we can take the shuttle into Edinburgh tomorrow and walk around a bit, but if not we have a sea day the next day and then our BIG day Le Havre, France and Normandy! Say a little prayer, as it is scheduled to rain that day, and I sure hope it doesn’t.
