Although many people think that
TSH and Diva’s 250ish days with Silversea is an impressive total, most of their
recent voyages have included people who have done well over 1000 days. But they
discovered at Venetian (loyalty club) night they were in the top half dozen cruisers
on this voyage. Dinner was at the Hotel Director’s table. Unfortunately, he had
been ill during the day and was far too free (in Diva’s estimation) with
graphic description. People said after he left that they were afraid of
catching something and wished he had not attended.
Towards the end of the dinner,
Diva had a wine refill and knew it tasted horrible – it had been very pleasant
thus far. The maitre was called and the whole table’s glasses were take away
and new ones supplied with fresh wine. Afterwards she received a grovelling
apology from a pale sommelier.
This was the 10th
anniversary of TSH and Diva’s first cruise. When they returned to their suite,
there were balloons and candles, a card from the captain and a chocolate cake
on a plate with a greeting. It would have been very rude not to eat it.
In Cartagena, there was a tour
whose highlight was the Roman theatre and its very well displayed museum.
Misc: It is very good to see
Dyson hand dryers in use across France and Spain. TSH saw a goods train but not
near enough for a photo. Just a diesel. And he is not happy because all the
fuss about the 2017 cruise caused him to label all this year’s pics so far as
2017. He hates re-work.
The holiday is proving as restful
as hoped.
