When we got back from our trip to Athens it was nearly time for the ship to sail. We sat on our balcony watching Piraeus recede behind us, then as we sailed along the Greek coast I went for an hour's sleep. James was made of sterner stuff and read his book on the balcony. Later on we went for a swim in the pool and a jacuzzi, and we watched the sun setting - it was very romantic.
Dinner was our second formal evening, I wore a silk dress, black with a floral print, and felt smart. James looked handsome in his tuxedo. We got our photos taken again, I dread to think what the outcome will be! At the end of dinner there was an announcement to thank our chefs, and lots of chefs came marching out of the kitchens and round all three levels of the dining rooms as "Tonight's going to be a good night" played and all the passengers clapped along! It was really nice because they certainly do an excellent job.
Then it was off for a drink to our favourite bar where there was a really good guitarist playing. James and I had a lovely chat; I have been feeling more and more relaxed over the course of the week and have been enjoying spending such a lot of time together. We are now sailing through the warm night on calm seas; from the balcony I can see stars above and far to the south the lights of a distant village on some Greek island shore.
