Costa Fortuna Postcard #11 A Sea Day

Today was our 4th consecutive sea day as we continued our crossing of the Red Sea to reach Aqaba.
Once again we have had calm seas, clear blue skies and brilliant sunshine with temperatures slightly lower than yesterdays.
Over the last 4 days things have been fairly routine for us with breakfast around 8:30 to 9:30, then lying up on deck in the sun until 12:00 when we do our walking round the jogging track (we are now up to 25 laps). Then its back to the sun beds until 1:30 when we go to the buffet for a nice big salad and a couple of drinks. Back to the sun beds until around 4 – 4:30 when we go down to the atrium for a couple of drinks & Costa nibbles.
Its then back to the cabin to shower and get ready for pre dinner drinks which preferably would be in the atrium. However we have only managed to get seats there twice so have usually moved on to one of the other bars.
Dinner is at 9:00 and we usually finish around 10:30 and then retire for evening. We have on the odd occasion gone for a walk after when we have had a particularly large meal just so we haven’t gone to bed on a really full stomach.
All this is just to let you know that we don’t have it easy!!!! Its tough work being on a cruise especially on a sea day.

Tomorrow is going to totally different as we have a 10 hour tour planned. Its going to be a real shock to the system!
……..And fingers crossed, I might be able to send more than 1 photo!!!
