Not much was happening after we left Tokyo until we reach our next port of Otaru, Japan. But it was memorable. Kathy and I decided to eat breakfast at The Restaurant and be served rather than our normal in the World Café which is a buffet line. And at The restaurant I can have a decadent breakfast with lamb chops.

Lamb, mushrooms, hash brown potatoes and a few small tomatoes. That was plenty for a lazy day breakfast. When Daryl, our server, delivered the plate to me he went “Baaa”. I wonder why?
But now I have to explain dinner. We walked into the front door of the World Café. There is always a greeter at the door. We know most of them and even more of them know us. So the greeter started out by telling me there were lamb chops being served at the Pool Grill tonight. Okay. Then I walked by the hot serving section where our now good friend Gilbert serves. He stopped me and said there are lamb chops at the Pool Grill. Yes, I know. Then just before reaching “our table”, Armando the server said there are lamb chops at the grill. And that was all just to me. As Kathy walked by the Chef, he told her the same thing. Soooooo. I had lamb chops for dinner with a salad.

The entire day wasn’t just spent eating lamb chops. Just most of it.

As we were eating dinner the sun went down and was quite pretty with the clouds and the mountains off at a distance.

After dinner we went to the theater and watched the Viking Vocalists perform the ABBA Songbook as it is called. We have watched these 4 perform many times now. They have a James Bond, The Beatles, ABBA and then a selection of just their favorites performed just in the atrium where they actually interact with the crowd. They all know us by name.
