Day 3 - we're finally on our way!!!!

Day 3 and it finally feels like we’re on vacation!! We are more than half way to Tallinn, Estonia, our first port of call. We are scheduled to arrive at 10:30 tomorrow morning (3:30 am Ontario time) – every time we turn around, they’re adjusting the time on us – apparently there will be one more change this week.

Today we just took things easy, wandered around the ship and spent some time in the Casino. We both napped this afternoon – Graham in the cabin while I enjoyed my nap in the thermal suite in the spa – this is a room full of ceramic, heated beds and sauna’s – so relaxing.

Tonight was the first of our formal nights. Graham was a huge hit in his kilt. Surprisingly he appears to be the only gentleman wearing one during this particular cruise. We are finding that, despite starting and ending in a European port, most of the passengers are American.

After dinner and a bit of time in the Casino, we went looking for dancing and found some in a little out of the way lounge – bad band, but, that’s what keeps the dance floor empty.
