It was raining. We were tired of buses. And especially tired of the devices Viking calls QuietVoxes. They are meant to make it so a guide can talk while walking around some famous place and everyone can hear them. Everyone can hear the static. Sometimes the guide. And having something in my ear is not normal for me. So we didn’t do our excursion today. Instead we rode the Ferris wheel which was located perhaps a hundred yards from the ship. At night it was lit with many changing colors.
Next in line to get into our car. Just the two of us!
From high up on the wheel I took this photo of the aquarium located right next door. When we bought our Ferris wheel tickets we bought a combination ticket for the Aquarium and the wheel. Great fun and not much walking in the rain.
The aquarium was good fun except for one thing. There were more people walking in the aquarium than there were fish. It was wall to wall people. And by the time we finally got through it (about 2 hours) the line to buy tickets was over 2 hours long we were told.
At dinner Gilbert (a chef) asked if I wanted lamb. Of course. So even though it wasn’t on the menu he grilled 3 lamb chops perfectly and then I had some fresh mushroom pasta to go with it. Lamb! Yum!
