After bringing Nicole up some rice, cauliflower and some peppers (which went down really well), I showered and went down for dinner. Being an Evening Chic night I had reconsidered my initial plans and came to the conclusion I really should make the effort particularly for our American table mates who always dress for the occasion. It felt really odd getting dressed up with Nicole watching me from in bed.
I’m pleased to say that the dining room was much busier last night but still far from being full.
Nicole had a much better night but was still very weak first thing, she felt well enough to take a shower which then totally wiped her out. While this was going on I made a couple of trips to the buffet to get her some hot water with lemon and a couple of bowls of fruit.
My medication needed topping up so I left her in the cabin while I took my prescription.
By the time I had returned Nicole was back asleep, so I went off for a walk so that she could have some peace and quiet. It gave me the chance to photograph a few areas of the ship for the first time. I also noticed the tables were all out and fully loaded in preparation for the sea day sales. It’s a total mystery to me how popular they are and they must generate a tidy profit because the majority of it is complete tat!
At 10:15 I went to my second talk by Dr Dave which today was about Whales. Very popular and he completely filled Celebrity Central. I never normally do this sort of thing and have thoroughly enjoyed the experience.
On the way out I noticed the sales were in full swing and creating plenty of interest from the masses. I hope that they will be happy with their acquisitions when they get them home.
When I got back to the cabin I found Nicole again not feeling great and feeling totally fed up with the situation. However after the last batch of tablets had kicked in she was feeling well enough to sit out on the balcony with me for a while. The weather today has once again been really lovely with the sea calm as well it made for a beautiful afternoon.
It’s the last night of cruise two and will shortly make my way up to the Sky Lounge for a spot of imbibing and to say my goodbyes to some of the people who’s company we have enjoyed this cruise and also a few from the previous one too. All being well Nicole’s recovery will allow her to see some more of Sydney tomorrow.
