This morning berthed in Zeebrugge, a lovely sunny morning, perhaps a bit cool but excellent considering the time of year.
After breakfast and giving time for the rush ashore to clear we made our way off to take the free shuttle into Blankenburg. Strolled down through the town to the seafront, town very quiet, out of season so lots of shops haven’t opened. Decided to forego the pleasure of a morning dip in the sea, tide a long way out and just not quite warm enough for such excursions.
Much more pleasant to just make a couple of visits to the local chocolate shops to make a few purchases. Being quite unable to find a nice looking coffee shop we resorted to getting the bus back to the ship to have coffee on board, and we even managed to find a nice comfy seat by a sunny window to enjoy it while the ship was still underpopulated.
Spent the afternoon sitting out on deck just enjoying the sun until it began to sink toward the horizon and we moved into the Crows Nest lounge. Managed to procure our sailaway champagne, somewhat delayed since Southampton, but thereby lies other story.
After dinner in the buffet, oriental theme today, off to the Palladium theatre for the Headliners show, “Reel to Reel”, a show of mainly songs from the musicals with some theme music from well known movies.
Sadly, now it’s time for packing Clocks back to UK time tonight so extra hours sleep even though the need for an early start remains.
