Cruise log #4: At sea

Today is very boring as we will be at sea all day and night. I slept through the night, not even getting up once for the toilet: a sign that my toe was less painful. I went up to the top deck but once I started walking, I could feel that there was still some inflammation of the toe. I didn't walk as much and certainly not as fast as the previous time. After breakfast, I had another ibuprofen pill.

Then it was up to deck 7 to lay on a lounger in the open air whilst reading. When the sun made this less pleasant, I simply continued reading inside. Then another hot chocolate with whipped cream (as the Dutch put it, slagroom), a bit more sitting around and then lunch.


I am writing this in the post-prandial period, and this will be my final entry. Later on, we start packing, then have dinner and see the show. Instructions are that all luggage has to be placed in the corridors outside the rooms by 11 pm so it can be collected and delivered efficiently to the terminal. Tomorrow there is breakfast from 6 am to 7 am, and rooms have to be vacated by 7 am. Disembarkment is by floors, so this should be more orderly than the free for all that there was on our previous cruise. We had a brief chat with one of the chambermaids who was cleaning outside our room: tomorrow at 10 am a new set of people will be embarking for another cruise. So everyone tomorrow will be interested in doing things as quickly as possible: we want to embark quickly in order to get home, and the staff have to get everything ready for the new passengers.
