Day 3:  Monday, June 5 2023

Oh, how WONDERFUL to lounge in bed today. I didn’t even make it to breakfast! But I did muster up the strength to go up to the buffet and get a cup of cappuccino. Thanks to Beth Ann’s kind gift in my cabin, I ate various Greek cheeses with my coffee.

We were at sea today until 1pm. The ship had many activities in the morning, but I just enjoyed the aft of the ship and pretended I was on my own balcony.

Since I missed breakfast, I DID manage to make it to the fresh pasta bar for lunch. And while eating, I enjoyed watching the cocktail demonstration.

We docked in Kusadasi at 1pm and disembarked. Shopping, shopping, shopping like any cruise port. We walked around for a bit and then decided to enjoy a drink on the water. Maybe having an Espresso Martini with Turkish coffee wasn’t the best choice … not the taste we were expecting. But the food was good!

We had another delicious dinner in the dining room. I will start taking more pics of the food for my foodie friends

And for my drinking friends, here are our nightcaps last night

Unfortunately for me, enjoying food and drink late at night equals restless sleep. My body just needs to understand that I’m on a limited time vacation! My saving grace with all these calories is that I am taking the stairs most of the time from the 4th deck up to decks 8 and 9 to enjoy said food and drink!
