Saturday 8th March 1997

 

We are at sea two nights and a day to reach Suez City from Safaga. Did very little today, we got up late and took a stroll around the decks, then sunbathed for a while by the pool. Had a buffet lunch in the Lido lounge, followed by a siesta, as it was too hot to be outside and we were tired after our early starts in the last few days. We booked a trip into Cairo for tomorrow, had a swim and wrote some postcards sitting by the pool.

Went to shower and change for the Captain's cocktail party followed by the Captain's formal dinner. We had a good evening, we are getting to know our dinner group better now, Clive and Amy are particularly nice, we chat to them a lot. Had a stroll in the moonlight, then went to the Belvedere suite on the top deck which is quiet and candlelit and has lovely windows to watch the sea. We had a cocktail and then some Metaxa. Time for bed as we have another early start tomorrow, I have enjoyed just lazing about today for a change.
