We had a pretty rough night – the ship had moved out of the fjord areas and was back out on the ocean.  I actually really enjoy when it’s rough and I’m tucked up in bed. 

We had a nice leisurely start to the day and eventually headed up to Horizon Court for breakfast. We checked out a few events around the ship then went to Bingo – no luck this morning – got down to one number twice.  We headed up for some lunch and checked out the big screen where they were showing the six nations game between Ireland and Scotland.  But it was bitterly cold so we didn’t hang around although some devotees were rugged up and watching.  We headed back to our cabin for a while and then Craig realized it was actually being shown on the TV so watched it for a while.  There was a quiz game on up in Club Fusion so we went and watched that and the England France game was on the TV there so Craig perched at the bar and watched that.  Meanwhile the afternoon bingo session was starting so I decided to have another go.  And this time I was lucky – I had to share but still got $50 so was pretty jubilant about that.  

By this time we were just arriving at Amalia Glacier – the seas were much calmer again as we were once again in the fjord area.  We got our warm gear and headed up to the top deck to get a good look.  The captain then turned the ship side on – first one side then the other.  Once he started to turn so the port side was facing we went back to our cabin and out onto the balcony where we had a fabulous view.  The blues of the glacier were fantastic – just like a giant tub of blue ice cream.

Once the ship sailed away from the glacier we got changed and went down to Crooners for a pre dinner drink.  Our table companions tonight were Kirstin and Vile – the couple who had the talk the other day about their bike ride from Alaska to the End of the World.  They were a lovely couple and great fun to chat to.  We also had two ladies from Melbourne and a couple from Melbourne – a real strong Aussie contingent tonight!  We went back to Crooners for a nightcap then Craig headed back to the cabin.  As I discovered when I got back he’d then gone to the Laundromat and got a load of washed and dried.  He’d been trying to get this done for the last few days but most of the Laundromats were closed for some reason and the two which were open were constantly busy.  He’d had the idea that late at night he might have a better chance – and he did.  Meanwhile I popped into the Casino.  It was an investment night and I tripled my stake before coming up to bed.
