Settling In

Today we sailed south from San Antonio towards Puerto Montt. It was what cruise ships call a “sea day.” John and I used this as an opportunity to orient ourselves to the ship and to get used to this place which will be our home for two weeks. 

This entry will be short. It was a pleasant day, and a calm one after all the excitement of yesterday’s mad rush to the ship. I found out that the ship has a reasonably good gym on the eleventh deck with a nice view from the windows. I also learned about the jogging track on the sixth floor. So I hope I can still sort of keep active and do something to compensate for eating more than I should! 

The show this evening was better than the Beatles cover band. It was a trio of three women who did a competent job with close harmony arrangements of pop standards.

One of the things I like is the way that when we come back in the evening, Dale, our cabin steward, has made towels into animals.

So, an early night for us as we have to be up at the crack of dawn for Puerto Montt!
