Greek Cruise Day 4...
Day 4 – Saturday
Started off Saturday morning with a nice breakfast at the ship’s top deck restaurant, La Veranda. I had a Cooper meeting to go to, and we were going to go to Delos in the morning, but right after we got back from breakfast and as I was ready to go to the meeting, the captain came over the intercom and proceeded to tell us that the morning excursions were going to be delayed since the sea was very choppy and they had to move the boat to an area that was more suitable for the boats to take us ashore. Seeing that the meeting would probably run over the time that the tour was leaving, Ann decided to go it alone and I would meet up with her after the meeting in the afternoon and then we would go to Mykonos.
The Cooper meeting was good, an update on the business and company along with some new things coming down the road were discussed, and also the new marketing and advertising strategy that is being implemented.
I got back to the room, and spent the rest of the morning watching “Boardwalk Empire” episodes, which were on the list of videos that the ship had… I had never seen any of them since I don’t get HBO, but they were extremely good and I’m going to see if I can get the entire first season in before we leave, otherwise I’ll have to see if they have the first season on Netflix… Ann got back around lunchtime, and was soaked and cold from the trip… apparently the sea was so rough that the boat that they went from Mykonos to Delos on had the waves spraying everyone on the top deck, and she really didn’t feel like going back out that day (and wanted to go to the pool anyway…) So we went up to the pool, grabbed a nice burger and salad on the pool deck, and she went to lay out by the pool and I went back to the cabin for a nap and another episode…
We got ready and went to one of our scheduled dinners at La Veranda with Phil and Joyce, Steve and Tina, and George and Ellen… food was great, conversation better (lots of golf talk) and after a few after dinner drinks cigars were mentioned, and Phil, George and I went to the cigar lounge to indulge… Cognac and cigars after dinner… nothing better… Ann was hanging out with the wives, going shopping and looking at jewelry, and they finally drug us out of the lounge and we went down to the bar/nightclub to watch karaoke… Had an great time there, especially when Hoban got up to perform… About 1 or so in the morning we decided to call it a night, since the next day was going to be a long day… Tomorrow we climb a volcano on Santorini along with a bunch of other touring activities…
