Two days in Bordeaux. The advantage of a small ship
like Silver Cloud (fewer than 300 passengers) is that we moor right in the
centre of the city. No need for a shuttle bus and the view from the ship is of
the classical buildings along the water-front. TSH and Diva did not do any
tours – they were all variants of go to a chateau, taste wine and eat an
unbelievably expensive meal – and walked round the city unescorted. So two days
of exercise whilst looking at squares and churches.
On the second evening, returning to the suite after
dinner, TSH ruined Rosie’s surprise by opening the curtains which she had
carefully closed when ‘turning down’ for the night. So he prematurely revealed
her ‘Good morning’ picture which was attached to the window. She really does
make enormous efforts to make everything special.
Followed by the only full day at sea for this cruise.
The lunch is English-themed with a choice of fish and chips or steak and ale
pie and chips (as well as all the usual choices). But they’re expecting us to
join in with a ‘typical’ pub sing-a-long.
The weather is improving with the progression North
and the sea is fairly smooth. TSH and Diva even managed some Tai Chi, although
it is more difficult to balance at sea than it is on land.
