The ship left Cherbourg last night, heading for Dublin, Ireland around the south coast of England.
We were awake early, so got dressed
and went up to breakfast at 7:30 a.m. From there, Linda went off to
swim in the indoor pool, and I read my book in the Centrum until
Geoff and Tanya came along, so we talked until they went in for
breakfast at 9:15 a.m. I read for awhile, then came back to the room
to catch up this journal and watch the BBC news.
I left at 11 a.m. with my book, went up
to Deck 10 to watch the docking, and found Geoff and Luc playing
shuffleboard, so I watched them for awhile. The docking was
interesting – the ship headed for one bank, then turned about 90
degrees and backed into a second bank while turning another 90
degrees. The ship was docked at 12 noon, right on schedule.
We went for lunch at noon at the Windjammer Cafe, then to the
Masquerade lounge to get our boarding pass, and were on the bus for
the Leisurely Dublin Highlights tour by 1:15 p.m. The tour drove
around Dublin, with the guide talking about Irish history, poets,
playwrights, authors, etc. We stopped to see Oscar Wilde’s “statue”
in a park, St. Patrick’s Cathedral (Anglican), and then next to
Trinity College for shopping. We had thought about eating dinner in
Dublin and taking the shujttle back to the ship, but we decided to go
back to the ship on the tour.
After stopping at our room, we went up
to dinner. Linda had a reaction to the salad, but ate her dinner,
took her Benadryl, and went back to the room with chills. She is now
out of Benadryl, so I called Medical and they sell it for $5. An
emergency visit costs $30. I'll get some on Thursday!
