We bailed on our shore excursion turning in our tickets yesterday in favor of a little relaxing. Now I am second guessing that decision. It is a lovely day, not hot, great group going so kind of wish I had not changed my mind.

Valencia is a good port stop. It was REALLY hot (a heat wave in Spain) so the walking tour was too long and the guide too long winded so some people got taxis back. It was not a bad tour just too hot. We hung in there and at the end we visited the new museum complex absolutely stunning architecture. Ken Is working on pictures now.

Everyone enjoyed Palma de Mallorca. The cathedral and old town is very nice.

Trivia is great. Taking place in the observation lounge. Lots of couches and chairs, very easy for six to get together and not crowded. John has done it each day. We have played twice came third once. They now reward first, second and third place with coupons.

This is a big group 58 on this segment. So many great people here wish this cruise was longer. Been so busy since boarding. Fortunately most are on for two segments so we have a lot of time to enjoy everyone. Then some are on the post trip to the alps as well. I am very excited about the land program. Hitting some places on my wish list.

I really like the ship lots of things that work well. The food has jumped up significantly. Love the cabin, great crew and just all around very comfortable. Off to lunch at Chartreuse loved the menu yesterday so going back today.
