Wednesday 1 May

We awoke to a flat calm so went for breakfast in the main dining room. We sat with a couple who originated from Watford so Graeme enjoyed comparing notes.

After breakfast it was quiz time. They had clearly decided that yesterday's was too easy - today's was really hard. I mean who knew it was illegal to have only 1 guinea pig in Switzerland or what year the balls at Wimbledon were changed from white to yellow (1986). Well we didn't and got a measly 8 put of 20.

We spent some time today exploring parts of the ship we hadn't yet visited starting at the top on deck 13. We came down as far as deck 8 and will aim to do the rest tomorrow. We had had a large breakfast so skipped normal lunch but G had a late lunch in the Golden Lion whilst E went to the choir session.

We then both went to the Queen's Room for afternoon tea. We chose our table well as it was on the route from the kitchen and we were overwhelmed by the number of times we were offered sandwiches, cakes and scones.

Unusually we didn't feel like dressing up tonight and the restaurant menu wasn't too exciting so we decided to eat in the buffet which we really enjoyed.
