Monday on our way to Greenland




A couple of additional pictures of Gullfoss falls in Iceland.
We thought it was quite breathtaking.
As the Captain said it would be, it was a rough ride. During the night we would slide from the head of the bed toward the foot and then back again. I slept through most of it, but Judi experienced it while she was awake. However about 1:00 a loud crash and the sound of breaking glass brought me straight up in bed. The Captain later explained that the ship rolled 4.5 degrees to Starboard and that was when all the glassed and a bottled of wine left the bar counter and encountered the tile floor with some force. Broken glass, broken wine bottle, and a big bang was the results. The cabin smelled of white wine all day. We continued to bounce all day and that and the internet problems caused some mistakes that you read.
We had breakfast and, after we ate, we moved to the center of the ship and there was less bouncing there. I went up to the Wheelhouse lounge and worked on my pictures. We both had massages scheduled for shortly after noon. The ship had settled down a little so we went ahead with them. The Spa is on the top deck and in the bow of the ship. We both had great massages. The masseurs have surprised me as to how accomplished they are.
We then met up with friends at the International café and had a cup of Cappuccino and listened to war stories.
Tonight was formal night and so we got duded up and headed for the dining room. Last night I mentioned to the head waiter that I wished that Judi could have some pasta. Well the head waiter in charge of our section made a wonderful pasta dish just for our table. When he came over we raved about how good it was and he is making one of my choosing tonight. It makes our table feel special. After dinner we listened to a comedian for awhile, then some nice string music and then back to the cabin. We just read for the rest of the evening and then to bed with the sea rocking pretty good. We are now southeast of Greenland and it is feeling colder outside. The Captain said that we now had to be on the alert for ice-bergs.
